On July 29, 1999, The Plain Dealer reported that plans to build a new synagogue for Chabad House of Cleveland have been approved by the Cleveland's Board of Zoning Appeals. Following several years of protest of the planned 12-acre Orthodox Jewish campus in Cleveland, Chabad House received initial approval for its restructured plans that limit the size of its synagogue. Young Israel of Beachwood had also planned to build a synagogue on the site, along with a proposed all-girls high school by the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland. So far, only Chabad House has received initial approval. After another meeting to take place with the Zoning Board on October 27th, 1999 to finalize plans, Chabad House will then have one year to secure the final approval of the Zoning Board.
