Naʻamat USA (Organization). Cleveland Council.

Naʻamat USA is a Labor Zionist women's organization originally called Pioneer Women. The Cleveland Council was founded in 1926, one year after the national organization came into being. As the organization grew, it was divided into numbered chapters. At its peak, there were fourteen chapters. In 1999, there were four chapters in the Cleveland Council, serving 650 women. Pioneer Women was organized to provide training, educational services, and social services to women, children, and families in Palestine. The Cleveland Council raised funds and sponsored programs that informed the Cleveland community of social service and educational needs in Israel. The national organization also promoted Habonim, a youth organization, and sponsored Jewish and cultural activities. In 1985 the name Pioneer Women was changed to Naʻamat USA, in order to more closely match its sister organization in Israel, Naʻamat.
