'''The Temple''' built in 1924 is a historic [[synagogue]] building located on [[University Circle]] at Silver Park in [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]], [[Ohio]]. In 1963, a branch synagogue, [[Temple Tifereth-Israel|Tifereth-Israel]], was established in suburban [[Beachwood, Ohio|Beachwood]], which is now the main place of worship. The congregation now known as '''The Temple - Tifereth Israel''' still owns the University Circle building, whose '''Silver Sanctuary''', named for longtime rabbi, [[Abba Hillel Silver]], is still used on the [[High Holy Days]] as well as for life cycle events and meetings.

In Mar 2010, [[Case Western Reserve University]] and the [[Temple Tifereth-Israel]] announced a historic partnership to create the Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center, which was led by a donation of $12 million from the Maltz Family Foundation of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. The university estimates that the total renovation of the building will require $25.6 million, with an additional $7 million needed for construction of a pedestrian bridge/walkway to connect the building to the university campus. <ref>http://blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/03/the_maltz_family_foundation_do.html</ref> Under the agreement, the Jewish community will continue to use the facility for yearly special events.

==Temple Museum of Religious Art==
The Temple at University Circle is one of three gallery locations for the '''Temple Museum of Religious Art''', operated by Temple-Tifereth Israel. Other locations include the Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery at the [[Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage]] and [[Temple Tifereth-Israel]] in [[Beachwood, Ohio|Beachwood]]. The museum was founded in 1950 by Rabbi [[Abba Hillel Silver]] as part of the 100th anniversary celebration for The Temple-Tifereth Israel.<ref>http://www.ttti.org/article/article_view.aspx?UID=0fcc42ee-dbb3-4984-bb98-2474b9fec4db Temple Tifereth-Israel, Museums</ref>

On August 30, 1974, The Temple was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. The Temple was designed by architect [[Charles R. Greco]].

The Temple possesses three notable stained glass windows by [[Arthur Szyk]]. They depict [[Gideon]], [[Samson]] and [[Judah Maccabee]].

'''Swiss Americans''' are [[people of the United States|Americans]] of [[Swiss (nationality)|Swiss]] descent.

There are several ethno-linguistic subgroups among Swiss Americans, including [[Swiss German]]-speaking, [[Swiss French]]-speaking, and [[Swiss Italian]]-speaking.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}
Reportedly,{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} these people are sometimes mistaken for non-Swiss [[German American]]s, [[French American]]s, and [[Italian American]]s, probably largely because of their cultural-linguistic origin.

==History==
[[File:Swiss diaspora in the USA 1890.jpg|thumb|left|Swiss emigrants to the USA totaled 104,000 according to the [[1890 United States Census|1890 census]].]]
The first Swiss person in what is now known as the territory of the United States was Theobald (Diebold) von Erlach (1541–1565).<ref>[http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Sr-Z/Swiss-Americans.html "Swiss Americans"]</ref>
The history of the [[Amish]] church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and [[Alsace|Alsatian]] [[Anabaptist]]s in 1693 led by [[Jakob Ammann]], a native of [[Erlenbach im Simmental]].

The late 18th and early 19th century saw a flow of Swiss farmers forming colonies especially in [[Swiss emigration to Russia|Russia]] and in the United States.

Before the year 1820 some estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Swiss entered British North America. Most of them settled in regions of today's Pennsylvania as well as North and South Carolina. In the next years until 1860 about as many Swiss arrived, making their homes mainly in the Midwestern states such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. 50,000 came between 1860 and 1880, some 82,000 between 1881 and 1890, and estimated 90,000 more during the next three decades.

In spite of Swiss settlements like Highland (Illinois), New Glarus (Wisconsin), Gruetli (Tennessee) and Bernstadt (Kentucky) were emerging fast, most Swiss preferred rural villages of the Midwest and the Pacific Coast where especially the Italian Swiss were taking part in California's winegrowing culture, or then took up residence in more industrial and urban regions such as New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis or San Francisco. As the lifestyle and political institutions of the United States were compliant with those of their homeland most Swiss had no problems starting a new life in their part of the New World and became attached to both countries.<ref>[http://www.swissroots.org/swissroots/en/stories/heritage/Swiss%20Emigration%20to%20the%20USA/Swiss%20Settlers.html] "History of Swiss Settlers"</ref>

Along with the Swiss Immigrants came their traditions. By the late 1800s sufficient numbers of Swiss had arrived that Swiss Vereins (Clubs) were established to provide camaraderie and sharing of customs and traditions of the Heimat (Homeland). The William Tell Verein of Oakland and the Sacramento Helvetia Verein founded in the 1890s were examples of clubs formed during this period. Much later, the West Coast Swiss Wrestling Association was established to preserve the Swiss tradition of [[Schwingen]] (Swiss wrestling) on the Pacific coast of the United States.

Swiss immigration diminished after 1930 because of the Great Depression and World War II. 23,700 Swiss arrived until 1960, 29,100 more between 1961 and 1990. Many of them being professionals or employees in American branches of Swiss companies, returned after some time to Switzerland.<ref>[http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Sr-Z/Swiss-Americans.html] "immigration since 1930"</ref>

'''The Temple''' built in 1924 is a historic [[synagogue]] building located on [[University Circle]] at Silver Park in [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]], [[Ohio]]. In 1963, a branch synagogue, [[Temple Tifereth-Israel|Tifereth-Israel]], was established in suburban [[Beachwood, Ohio|Beachwood]], which is now the main place of worship. The congregation now known as '''The Temple - Tifereth Israel''' still owns the University Circle building, whose '''Silver Sanctuary''', named for longtime rabbi, [[Abba Hillel Silver]], is still used on the [[High Holy Days]] as well as for life cycle events and meetings.

In Mar 2010, [[Case Western Reserve University]] and the [[Temple Tifereth-Israel]] announced a historic partnership to create the Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center, which was led by a donation of $12 million from the Maltz Family Foundation of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. The university estimates that the total renovation of the building will require $25.6 million, with an additional $7 million needed for construction of a pedestrian bridge/walkway to connect the building to the university campus. <ref>http://blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/03/the_maltz_family_foundation_do.html</ref> Under the agreement, the Jewish community will continue to use the facility for yearly special events.

==Temple Museum of Religious Art==
The Temple at University Circle is one of three gallery locations for the '''Temple Museum of Religious Art''', operated by Temple-Tifereth Israel. Other locations include the Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery at the [[Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage]] and [[Temple Tifereth-Israel]] in [[Beachwood, Ohio|Beachwood]]. The museum was founded in 1950 by Rabbi [[Abba Hillel Silver]] as part of the 100th anniversary celebration for The Temple-Tifereth Israel.<ref>http://www.ttti.org/article/article_view.aspx?UID=0fcc42ee-dbb3-4984-bb98-2474b9fec4db Temple Tifereth-Israel, Museums</ref>

On August 30, 1974, The Temple was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. The Temple was designed by architect [[Charles R. Greco]].

The Temple possesses three notable stained glass windows by [[Arthur Szyk]]. They depict [[Gideon]], [[Samson]] and [[Judah Maccabee]].
