Cleveland is celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of the Public Library next week. A group of Jewish leaders of this community will present a work by Enrico Glicenstein, “Jeremiah,” as a gift from the Jewish community to the Public Library on the occasion of its Diamond Jubilee.
A committee of one hundred was formed to raise a fund to purchase the statue. Rabbi Solomon Goldman is chairman, Isaac Carmel, secretary, and Maurice Gusman, treasurer. I. F. Freiberger is vice-chairman.
The statue of “Jeremiah” by Professor Enrico Glicenstein was exhibited in the great museums of Europe and at the Anderson Gallery in New York. It is one of a series of mythological and Biblical characters depicted by Glicenstein.
