Zichron Chaim is the kind of shul that turns a minyan into a community. 

Visitors, newcomers, and established community members alike enjoy the warmth of a diverse, close-knit chevra who live by their passionate commitment to Torah and avodas Hashem. Established nearly fifty years ago, the founders infused within Zichron Chaim a heimishe flavor and a culture of limud haTorah that continues to define the community. Today, Zichron Chaim is one of the largest shuls in Cleveland with a mix of balei batim, rebbeim, and yungerleit, all actively engaged in heartfelt tefillah and a tremendous amount of learning nearly round the clock. 

Last year, we broke ground and began to build a ruchniyus home that will empower our community to truly thrive. 

This community, characterized by achdus, is so close to the sense of wholeness that we’ve been craving for so many years. 

Everyone will be in the same location for every minyan, Shabbos, Yom Tov, and even every simcha. We’re completing a home where families will share in the sense of intergenerational pride and identity enjoyed in a permanent community.

Our shul will bear the name of one of the greatest community leaders in Cleveland’s history. Mendy Klein was a true baal tzedakah, a visionary, whose chesed transformed Cleveland Jewry. Bais Menachem Moshe is being built on the legacy of Torah and Tefillah that still flourish thanks to his tremendous initiative. The new shul is being constructed in his honor, and in the honor of all of the pioneers who established our shul and empowered Jewish life throughout the Greater Cleveland area.

We have entered the final phase of construction and are hoping to move in very shortly! Zichron Chaim is now turning to our partners and friends to help us complete our campaign and make this new mikdash me’at a reality! 

This will be our home for generations. 

Let’s get it finished!
