creating a brighter future for our teens,
our community and beyond.”
Schlessel, a member of Solon Chabad,
said he continues to volunteer with
BBYO and is considering advising a
chapter in the future. His wife, Marla, is
a longtime BBYO volunteer and chapter
adviser of B’nai B’rith Girls.
“With my wife involved as a chapter
adviser, I’m still involved,” he said. “You
can’t leave something you’ve been associated with for 40 years, just like that.”

the McCullough aims to unify the CIA
campus, bringing all of its majors and
student services together in one location
in University Circle’s Uptown district.
Some departments now operate out of
CIA’s George Gund Building on East
Boulevard, while the remainder run
out of McCullough. The East Boulevard
building will be sold to the Cleveland
Museum of Art and Case Western
Reserve University.
The new building, largely financed
by a $10 million donation from the Gund
Foundation, also will be named after
George Gund.
According to a CIA news release,
the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel
Atrium will be a focal point of campus
activity with a glass ceiling, 48 feet
high at its peak; a cafe; and the setting
for exhibitions of student and faculty
artwork, group meetings, and social
gatherings.
The Cleveland Institute of Art will
name the atrium between its McCullough
Center for the Visual Arts and an
adjacent 80,000-square-foot addition
under construction The Jack, Joseph
and Morton Mandel Atrium.
The new atrium’s name speaks to
the $1 million CIA received in the form
of two $500,000 grants from the Jack,
Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation.
“The Mandel Foundation supports
education and the arts in order to enrich
the Cleveland community and we believe
that the Cleveland Institute of Art makes
a major contribution to our community,”
foundation chairman Morton Mandel
said in a prepared statement.
“Support of this magnitude is
especially significant coming from this
farsighted philanthropy with strong
Cleveland roots,” said Grafton J. Nunes,
the college’s president and CEO.

Ethan, 13, of the Cincinnati suburb

teaching others to play ultimate Frisbee at
camp on June 29. He has been recovering
in a rehabilitation unit at Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital and is expected to
return home this month. Two other

Dylan said Oct. 19 during his bar mitzvah

I am dedicating my bar mitzvah to him.”

BERLIN – Germany should publicize
all suspicious art collections so possible
heirs can find long-lost works, World
Jewish Congress President Ronald
Lauder said.
Prompted by the recent revelation
of a huge collection of artworks hidden
for decades in the Munich apartment of
collector Cornelius Gurlitt, Lauder in a
statement issued Nov. 20 urged Germany
to create a commission to examine all
public collections for looted art.
Lauder also said the statute of
limitations
on
Nazi-era
looting
crimes should be voided. Murder is the
only crime with no statute of limitations
for prosecution in Germany.
In the Gurlitt case, which came to light
earlier this month, more than 1,400 works
were confiscated nearly two years ago
in the course of an investigation for
tax evasion. The state prosecutor in
Augsburg agreed last week to publish
photos and titles of 590 works in the
collection on Germany’s official website
for identifying lost art. So far, 25 works

have been put online.
The prosecutor confirmed Nov.
19 that works proven to have been looted
during the Nazi era would be returned
to their original owners or heirs, while
those obtained legally would remain with
the collector. So far, that includes works
by a relative of Gurlitt.
Gurlitt has said his collection was
legally obtained by his father, the Naziera collector Hildebrand Gurlitt, and has
demanded its return. But prosecutors
and experts have said that many of the
works are of suspicious origin, though it
may be too late for legal solutions. Some
have suggested that appeals to Gurlitt on
a moral basis may be necessary.
On the statute of limitations, Lauder
said it was “never intended to deal with
massive wartime looting perpetrated in
the course of genocide.”
He added, “Anyone in Germany
who
possesses
artworks
whose
provenance during the Nazi period is
doubtful should therefore be required
to make his holdings public.”

efit the BBYO Ohio Northern Region and
will establish the Lane A. Schlessel Family Scholarship Fund.
“I wanted the money raised from the
event to create a designated fund for the
teens,” Schlessel said. “This perpetuating fund will be allocated for teens for
programs that will enhance their Jewish
identity.”
Schlessel, who grew up in Mayfield
Heights, said becoming a member of
AZA Gideon Chapter 209 at age 13 was a
life-changing moment for him.
“I didn’t realize back then what the
impact would be,” he said. “But I’m
friends today with people who recruited
me into AZA.
“My mom used to tell me, ‘Someday,
you’re going to replace Hal (Bordy),’ who
was the regional director at the time, and
in reality I did.”
Schlessel, 53, started his career with
BBYO as assistant director of the Greater Ohio Council, which later became the
BBYO Ohio Northern Region. His passion for Israel became an integral part of
his professional life, through his leadership of the Passport travel programs and
the March of the Living, an initiative
through which he traveled with teens to
Poland and Israel.
“Lane has been a vital part of helping
shape BBYO’s Ohio Northern Region,”
regional director Todd Kay said. “He has

Lane A. Schlessel’s affiliation with
BBYO dates to 1973, when he was recruited for AZA, BBYO’s teen leadership program for boys, to play basketball.
He was involved with BBYO – an international Jewish youth movement
based in Washington, D.C., that was formerly B’nai B’rith Youth Organization –
in a professional capacity from 1983 until
