Peter J. Haas The Clubs: What Excelsior and Oakwood 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. |
