The Jain Society of Greater Cleveland (JSGC) had its humble beginnings over 30 years ago, with a small gathering of about six families. Through encouragement from Acharya Shri Sushil Kumarji, the group formalized into the Jain Association in 1976, and in 1978, the Jain Society of Greater Cleveland (JSGC) was established. Over the years, JSGC has actively promoted Jain principles, celebrated Jain festivals, and achieved significant milestones such as obtaining non-profit status, receiving proclamations from the City of Cleveland, and playing a key role in the formation of the Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA). The society’s vision of having its own place of worship was realized in 2010 when a beautiful temple and community center were consecrated, marking a joyous occasion for the Jain community in Greater Cleveland.
