The Clubs: What Excelsior and Oakwood
tell us about Jewish Life in Cleveland
In 1872 about two dozen Jewish business men, excluded
from other clubs in Cleveland, met to form their own social club. The
result was the Excelsior Club which hosted Jewish high society life in
Cleveland for the next nearly 60 years. Due to changing social,
demographic and financial factors, the Excelsior Club voted in 1930 to
end its separate existence and to merge into the newer suburban Jewish
club, Oakwood. This Oakwood Club continued to be an important part of
the Cleveland Jewish community until it was dissolved in 2010 and its
membership combined with Mayfield Sand Ridge Country Club.
This talk will focus on what can we learn about the social history of
our community from the character, trajectories and experiences of these
two institutions. We shall also focus on how these clubs throw light on
larger trends that were shaping North American Jewry.
