names of prophets

"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence."— Paul Simon

Anshe Emeth Beth Tefilo Congregation built the Cleveland Jewish Center in 1920. It was the first such center in the west, "a shul with a pool". Its address on East 105th was on the main street of Jewish Glenville during the interwar period. At this time Glenville became over 70% Jewish, and may have approached 90%. In 1940 Anshe Emeth Beth Tefilo was the largest Conservative Jewish congregation in the US. In 1946 they sold the complex to Cory Methodist Church. The Jewish Congregation became Park Synagogue and Park East, both in the suburbs. Most of the Jewish synagogues in Cleveland became Black churches.

As Cory Methodist it became a very important church in the Black community. Malcolm X gave his The Ballot or the Bullet speech there. The last time Martin L.King Jr. spoke in Cleveland, it was there.

"Give unto God, the glory due God's name, Bow down in worship to God in holy beauty."— Psalm 29 (28DRC) v. 2.
