THE E IT

Take advantage of the moment

A

s I’m writing this in early October, excitement for the changing season has come up in many of my recent conversations. I’d be hard pressed to find someone who isn’t excited to get their sweaters out of storage, up their hot drink game and enjoy brisk walks outside.

While I also appreciate a Northeast Ohio fall, my mind jumps ahead to the impending winter gloominess. I get stressed about driving in the snow, frustrated at how cold it stays in my apartment and have the hardest time waking up in the dark morning hours. The coolness of fall sometimes just feels like winter beginning.

But I’ve noticed for many Clevelanders, fall and winter are distinctly separate. When I conflate them, I’m told to stop – just enjoy the seasonal transition.

And I should stop. Last fall, we were quarantining.

This year after being vaccinated against COVID-19, we can enjoy the moment in ways we couldn’t last year, although with some health and safety precautions. And while we don’t know what winter holds, these last couple years have shown us we never really do.

For this issue, I interviewed and visited two local women, Meghann Hennen and Yael Herooty.

During the start and peak of COVID-19 last year, they both took the then-moment of fear and unknown as a chance to shake things up. They started their own baking businesses – Meghann with challah making, Challah at Meg, and Yael with her French pastries, Yaya’s Desserts.

Starting their new creative and business endeavors wasn’t easy, and it still isn’t. Both women have had to navigate continually transitioning their fledgling businesses into whatever our changing

times require. Working out of their home kitchens, they’ve also figured out how to integrate their home and work lives in ways that work for them.

One lesson to take from them might be that when the calling to start something new comes along – even if it’s amid a time when just about everything is confusing and challenging, and even if it means picking up new skills outside your comfort zone – to follow your instincts. Another lesson is to recognize we never really know exactly what’s coming next, so instead of worrying about it, make the present moment work for you.

Similarly, in this issue we check in with the staff and volunteers of National Council of Jewish Women/Cleveland’s Thriftique resale shop.

Celebrating the shop’s 85th anniversary, it’s had many notable iterations and locations over the years. I’d guess that sense of adapting with the time has contributed to its long-term success.

Also in this issue, we visited ThornCreek Winery & Gardens in Aurora for our photoshoot, and Jstyle once again partnered with local stores to get our models – all volunteers from the local Jewish community – dressed fashionably for fall.

And while I’m trying not to get ahead of myself, it’s important to note this is the last issue of Jstyle in 2021. So, I hope you enjoy all the aforementioned fall things we all love, a safe and cozy start to your winter, and a happy and healthy new year.

‘Picturing Motherhood Now’

The exhibition “Picturing Motherhood Now” at the Cleveland Museum of Art responds to our present day by bringing together works by a diverse array of contemporary artists who reimagine the possibilities for representing motherhood. The exhibition, showcased from Oct. 16 to March 13 in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Gallery at CMA in the University Circle area of Cleveland, draws on a range of feminisms challenging familiar archetypes of motherhood, construing it as a wide-ranging term. The artists use motherhood as a lens through which to examine contemporary social issues such as the changing definitions of family and gender, the histories and afterlives of slavery, the legacies of migration and the preservation of matrilineal Indigenous cultures. clevelandart.org

‘Don Quixote’

The Cleveland Ballet will present “Don Quixote” Oct. 15 and 16 at the Mimi Ohio Theatre in downtown Cleveland.

The Cleveland Ballet’s rendition of the classic story will show that we all have a little Don Quixote in us. clevelandballet.org

‘Stories of Survival: Object. Image. Memory’

The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Beachwood is presenting more than 60 never-before-seen personal items brought to America by survivors of the Holocaust and other genocides in its new exhibit “Stories of Survival: Object. Image. Memory” on view starting Oct. 27.

Each artifact is dramatically showcased alongside oversized photographs by renowned documentarian Jim Lommasson with handwritten responses by survivors or their family members. The objects are as everyday as a baby doll and a black suitcase, and as symbolic as a young mother’s cookbook and a wedding announcement– saved by local survivors from genocides around the world, including in Armenia, Bosnia, Cambodia, Iraq, Rwanda, South Sudan and Syria.

A project of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Skokie, the objects and memories depicted are a reflection of their owners’ journeys and family histories. maltzmuseum.org

WHAT IS MORPHEUS8?

Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis.

By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED? Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, periorbital area, abdomen, thighs, legs, and buttocks.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED? Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS? Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear.

Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF FRACTIONATED ENERGY? Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.

Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Wojtanowski on Business Boom

It’s been a wild ride over the past year and a half for plastic surgeons like Dr. Michael Wojtanowski, medical director and founder of Ohio Clinic for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery. The pandemic shut everyone down and then business came back, bigtime with no signs of Dr. Michael stopping.

Wojtanowski “Stay-at-home had many people communicating via zoom calls. People didn’t like what they saw so they called us,” says Dr. Wojtanowski.

When people saw themselves on their computer monitors, many told Dr. Wojtanowski that they saw a shocking reflection of themselves - sagging eyes, jowls, and an overall tired and older appearance.

It prompted people nationwide and here in northeast Ohio to make a change. At Ohio Clinic, phone calls and emails poured in. Staff at Ohio Clinic says people are booking facelifts, eyelid surgery, and neck lifts. They have seen a huge increase in facelifts in particular and many patients pair that surgery with an eyelift, browlift and facial fat injections for full facial rejuvenation.

A Rhytidectomy, the medical term for facelift is a procedure that reduces sagging jowls, marionette lines, and double chins, maintaining its reputation as the ‘gold standard’ for facial rejuvenation. It is performed at Ohio Clinic’s fully accredited, (AAAASF) onsite outpatient surgical facility, Surgiplex.

“We are fortunate to be able to offer our patients our plastic surgery-designed Surgiplex facility located right at our practice off I-90. It’s tucked away in a private setting giving patients the utmost in safety, privacy and convenience.”

A facelift is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Wojtanowski, who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), customizes the procedure to a patient’s specific anatomy. He says facelift surgery is not a cookie

cutter procedure since each person’s face and neck present differently.

Dr. Wojtanowski still sees a steady flow of those who opt for non-surgical treatments to their faces such as Botox®, which temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause facial lines. In addition, filler injections such as Juvéderm®, Restylane® and Belotero® products offer a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Body procedures are also up at Ohio Clinic. Since many are still working from home, it’s easier to recover without anyone knowing. Liposuction continues to be popular for fat reduction. Dr. Wojtanowski was the first plastic surgeon to introduce Cleveland to the liposuction procedure in 1982 and even with popular non-surgical options for fat reduction such as CoolSculpting, liposuction is still known as the gold standard since it gets rid of fat in just one procedure where other treatments require several treatments.

As patient volume has increased, Dr. Wojtanowski uses this opportunity to educate patients so they can make a well-informed decision. As a staunch advocate of patient safety, Dr. Wojtanowski is fiercely adamant about patients being seen by plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

“Whether they choose to come to me or someone else, seeing a physician certified by the ABPS is the most important decision they will make in the entire process.”

Facelift = Fountain of Youth?

When people consider looking younger through cosmetic surgery, a facelift is what usually comes to mind. So, is a facelift the panacea to recapturing a youthful appearance?

Perhaps.

Restorative success is a matter of Dr. Mark A. Foglietti finding a plastic surgeon who can determine the procedure that would most benefit a patient and whose technique would make a patient look like a younger version of themself, not like an entirely different person.

Choosing a good plastic surgeon for facial procedures is extremely important and requires some detective work. The main consideration is the experience of the surgeon doing the procedure. Excellent facial rejuvenation surgeries are a result of the technique a surgeon utilizes and his or her fluency in executing them. As a general rule, a surgeon’s expertise in these surgeries isn’t refined until they’ve had many years in practice and become proficient in performing them.

A talented surgeon will then build a strong referral base as satisfied patients discuss their experience and share their results with friends, family, and often their primary care doctors.

During a consultation, an experienced surgeon will be able to determine what the appropriate surgery

for a person would be and explain why. The complete transformation of a patient to their younger looking self isn’t always achieved by a facelift alone. Other procedures, upper or lower eyelid surgery, or a brow lift in combination with a facelift, may be necessary to complete the desired outcome. A patient could find out that they would benefit more from another facial surgery more than a facelift. Everyone ages differently and an expert surgeon can determine the right course of action. Don’t hesitate to ask the surgeon how many facelifts or other facial surgeries the physician has performed in their practice and ask to see their before and after photos. A surgeon who has plenty of experience should have photos of their work available.

For the patient, it is imperative that the correct facial rejuvenation surgery is done and done skillfully; the face is the one place where it will show if surgery is done improperly. You owe it to yourself to find the best surgeon possible.

85 YEARS IN STYLE NCJW/CLE’s Thriftique Showroom engages volunteers, shoppers for a cause

By Jane Kaufman

A

s it enters its 85th year, Thriftique Showroom has become more than a way station for gently used clothing and antiques, more than a bargain hunter’s gold mine, and more than a mission-driven charitable endeavor on the part of the National Council of Jewish Women/Cleveland.

It has become a community, and even a family, to its customers, volunteers and staff.

“Even now, when I pop in the store, the best (is) when I see some of my old customers, and it’s my understanding they still ask about me,” says Jackie Rothstein, who was formerly vice president of Thriftique for nine years.

As a volunteer, Rothstein helped Thriftique manager Abbe Froimson oversee the entire operation.

Rothstein, who grew up in the family that owned Jo-Ann Stores, says she has “a business sense.” She occasionally drove the box truck with Froimson to retrieve donated items on days when the driver was absent.

“I remember carrying sofas out of apartments at Acacia,” Rothstein says.

“Pickups couldn’t stop just because we didn’t have a driver.”

She also credited the late Sarah Weintraub with teaching other volunteers “so much,” including how to sort dollar bills efficiently into the cash register.

A member of The Temple-Tifereth Israel in Beachwood, Rothstein says she conceived of a weekly sale, a concept that entails marking down certain items in the store – and sometimes all of them. She enjoys watching customers “go hunting for their treasure.”

The Bedford Heights showroom is the latest adaptation of one of Cleveland’s oldest thrift shops. After opening in the mid-1930s, it has continued for generations to be a major source of

NCJW/THRIFTIQUE SHOWROOM HISTORY 1936 NCJW’s original Thrift Store, the first resale store in Cleveland, opened at 2035 E. 105th St., offering clothing and soft goods donated by members. It was founded by Mrs. Jac (Ruth) Einstein. Later that year, inventory was expanded and the store doubled in size to include furniture and giftware as well as an antique department.

1942 The store was remodeled and renovated.

1958 An adjunct store opened at the other side of the same building at 2049 East 105th St. The main store continued to carry clothing and soft goods, but the furniture, household items, appliances and giftwares moved to the new location.

funding for NCJW/CLE and its endeavors focusing on benefiting the lives of local women and children.

THE HISTORY, VISION Started in the height of the Great Depression by Mrs. Jac (Ruth) Einstein, the original NCJW Thrift Store opened at 2035 East 105th St. in the heart of one of Cleveland’s Jewish neighborhoods.

The store doubled in size in that first year to expand from clothing and soft goods to furniture, antiques and gifts, according to research provided by NCJW/ CLE. The store was remodeled and renovated in 1942. In 1958, a second store opened in the same building for furniture, household items, appliances and giftware.

The store has since held several different locations across the east side of Cleveland. In 2011, Thriftique Showroom moved to 26055 Emery Road in Warrensville Heights, where NCJW/CLE has its office and warehouse, and in 2012 to its current location.

On entering the vestibule to the showroom, one becomes immediately aware of the mission of NCJW/CLE, with photos showing the work of the

nonprofit organization in a mural featuring the words, ”Changing the Lives of Women, Children and Families in CLE. NCJW/ CLE.” Among the projects NCJW/CLE has launched are Share What You Wear, which collects and then distributes clothing and supplies to children in need or in crisis through school and agency social workers. Volunteers fulfill orders by shopping Thriftique’s inventory of donated new and gently used clothing to create gender and size-specific clothing bags, according to Mindi Axner, executive director of NCJW/CLE. Toiletries and school supplies, also provided through donations, are included upon request.

That program, Axner says, was started more than 10 years ago on the initiative of two Orange High School students who had come to NCJW/CLE’s Designer Dress Days, the organization’s fundraiser that sells designer clothing. Attending the sale with their mothers, they decided they wanted to do something like it for teens in need.

“We created a little ‘store’ where the students and their foster parents would come and they would shop,” says Axner, a member of Park Synagogue in Pepper Pike and Cleveland Heights.

A second store, Council East Thrift Shop, opened at 11707 Buckeye Road. Merchandise included clothing, furs, jewelry, furniture, appliances, draperies, linens, kitchenware, china, silver, books, records and antiques.

Proceeds from all stores supported NCJW/CLE’s everexpanding service projects in the community.

1970 The original Thrift Store closed. Two new stores opened, at 10638 Euclid Ave. in Cleveland and 2242 Lee Road in Cleveland Heights, replacing the stores on East 105th. The Cleveland Heights store was called Thriftique.

1980 A fire destroyed the Buckeye store, and it moved temporarily to the then-new NCJW/CLE building at 3535 Lee Road in Shaker Heights.

1981 Thriftique II, or the Thrift Shop, opened at 16701 Chagrin Blvd., in Shaker Heights.

1990 Thriftique moved to 12611 Larchmere Blvd., in Cleveland, where it remained for 21 years. It replaced all other NCJW/CLE Thrift stores.

2011 Thriftique Showroom moved to 26055 Emery Road in Bedford Heights.

2012 Thriftique Showroom moved to its current location, 5055 Richmond Road in Bedford Heights

2019 Thriftique Showroom closed for five months as it underwent remodeling. It reopened May 29, 2019.

we were,” Axner says of the Thriftique showroom. “So we reached out to the Bedford Heights schools and asked them what their needs were.”

A JOB WITH PURPOSE

Froimson, Thriftique’s manager of 28 years, says she enjoys working there for several reasons.

“It feels good to come to work because I know I’m doing something beneficial,” Froimson says. “Believe me, it gets complicated. It gets crazy, but I think I thrive on that.”

In addition to the Thriftique Showroom, there is also a warehouse in Warrensville Heights. Froimson, a member of Park Synagogue, spends time at both the warehouse and the store, collecting items which are then brought to the stock room that is part of the 9,100-square-foot store. She is one of eight employees.

Thriftique also offers truck pickup for donors, who may be experiencing a tender time in their lives – a death in the family or a move that may be fraught with mixed emotions. Froimson says donors have given “such positive feedback.”

From the warehouse, items that aren’t suitable for sale are recycled at a per-pound rate, benefiting NCJW/CLE and its causes.

Assistant manager Karen Morris is a third-generation member of NCJW/CLE. “Just the whole mission of being here as a community service for people who need us became very important to me,” says Morris, who is a 10-year employee, coming from retail. “And especially the mission of sustainability. … Landfills are filled with unused old clothing. So it’s nice to be able to be helping the world with being sustainable … to not have so much going to the landfill and being able to reuse.”

TRENDING NOW

Axner says the top reason children don’t go to school is “because they don’t have clean clothes to wear.” Share What You Wear aims to alleviate that concern.

In addition, through Thriftique, NCJW/CLE holds Operation Warm Up, which builds an annual collection of winter clothing for homeless people.

And through sales at Thriftique, NCJW/CLE has launched initiatives under the name Partners in Literacy. They include a monthly book club for children in fifth grade; a reader’s theater for fourth graders; Building Bridges With Books, which contributes to school libraries; and Reading Buddies, which pairs volunteers with first graders once a month to help them learn to read.

In addition, NCJW/CLE launched and stocked a community resource room inside Bedford High School starting in the 20192020 school year through donations it received.

“We wanted to do something within the backyard of where

The store belongs to the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops, and Froimson looks to the association’s Facebook page every night to see what’s trending. She also watches what customers buy, particularly those whom she knows are in the resale business themselves.

“Currently, ‘80s is huge right now in furniture and clothing,” Froimson says.

Formica, or laminated, furniture is popular as are Levi’s dark, stiff blue jeans and athleisure clothing.

What’s not selling? Men’s sport coats, suits and ties, and women’s suits. Business attire, it seems, went out with the remote work lifestyle brought in by the COVID-19 pandemic, Morris says.

Women’s sweaters are $8, women’s tops are $6. Jewelry is priced at $5, belts are $1.

Inside the store, smaller items are closest to the walls with larger items in the middle of the store, including framed artwork, bric-a-brac, children’s toys and books, furniture, clothing, shoes and purses.

Thriftique also has a designer and high-end section called the Tique, where clothing and other items are individually priced.

Volunteers work to give the store a different look each week, moving items from place to place to showcase them in a

different light.

“And we do have a lot of the same people shopping, so it makes it more interesting for them,” Froimson says.

At the showroom, volunteers price and stock the shelves using a color-coded tagging system. They also size clothing.

Each week, Thriftique still stages the markdowns that Rothstein started. From Sept. 22-24, for example, all furniture was 30% off.

“What we get for donations is incredible. I mean, you could walk in there right now, it looks like a department store,” Froimson says. “You can make the most gorgeous event just shopping with us.”

Schmidt says she most enjoys her interactions with customers and other volunteers.

“One person I hadn’t seen for a long time, you know, our kids were at temple together,” Schmidt says, referring to Park Synagogue.

“And here, we would get reacquainted. And we’re very close.”

And as thrift shopping only grows in popularity, Thriftique may be one of the oldest and largest stores of its kind in Northeast Ohio, according to NCJW/CLE. “It’s really interesting because the resale business has really come into its own,” Schmidt says. ”And when you consider that (Thriftique) has been in business for 85 years, it’s amazing.” js

LOOKING AHEAD As NCJW/CLE celebrates Thriftique’s 85th anniversary and in recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October, Thriftique partnered with Twinsburg-based model Olivia DePiore, who is showing some of Thriftique’s fashions on her Instagram account, @oliviadepiore2018. In addition, from Oct. 13-15, the store dedicated a portion of its proceeds to livespecial.com, a project of NCJW/CLE that provides support and resources for those with disabilities.

DePiore, 24, who has Down syndrome, “has tied her love of fashion (and thrifting) with her passion for empowering others with her can-do attitude,” according to an NCJW/CLE news release about the partnership.

DePiore’s mother, Vicky, says her daughter enjoyed picking out clothes at Thriftique for the fashion shoot after her friend, Zoe Felber, a summer marketing intern for NCJW/CLE, reached out about partnering.

“Then we went and visited the site, which is fabulous,” Vicky DePiore says. “There are such high-end products and just stuff that we … don’t know if we’d ever be able to afford it any other way. And it’s all in great condition, beautifully kept. Their displays and their marketing, they’ve done so well.”

Olivia DePiore, who has modeled in New York City and internationally, put together some outfits, which Vicky DePiore photographed. They then returned to Thriftique for a professional photoshoot by Mariana Edelman.

The hope, Vicky DePiore says, is that “Olivia’s exposure can help Thriftique, and vice versa.”

FINDING TREASURE Rosean Schmidt of Pepper Pike is a 15-year volunteer at Thriftique and coordinator of the 20 to 25 volunteers who help staff the store.

Schmidt got involved after serving a four-year stint cochairing NCJW’s Designer Dress Days, which this year was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While Schmidt usually shops firsthand, she has made some significant purchases at Thriftique: artwork, jewelry, and blocks and books for her grandchildren. Her prize find was a set of Mikasa plates, which she uses every day. She noticed them when she was volunteering in the warehouse.

“You just never know what you’re going to find,” she says.

A softly rustic winery with gardens throughout, ThornCreek is popular for special events or simply anyone looking to explore a more rural setting with delicious wine and food.

The Aurora property was purchased by owner and founder David Thorn in 2005, renovated over two years and opened its doors in October 2007.

“Our spaces were designed to be this beautiful background that would allow any event to be the showcase,” Thorn says.

With an earthy and elegant backdrop, ThornCreek is a “true winery,” meaning all the wines served are produced there, he says. It partners with vintners and wineries across the country to buy produce, and then wine-making processes like fermentation, blending and aging are done by ThornCreek.

“We’ve been nationally recognized for some of our wines, and regionally recognized for most,” Thorn adds.

ThornCreek’s dining menu provides a similar idyllic country touch to match the space’s feel; entrees and sharable plates are designed to pair well with the wine. It is also known for its annual Harvest Dinner, a farm-to-table five-course meal that hosts 80 people and which Thorn describes as “magical.”

After a second round of renovations that began in February 2020, ThornCreek now has an indoor ballroom with a new entrance, bathrooms and bar. Outside, a new perennial pavilion was added, which hosts wedding ceremonies and offers an additional covered dining space. That’s in addition to more newly created gardens, Thorn says.

“Sitting in that (ballroom) space and looking out into the fountain garden is one of my favorite spaces,” he says, adding another favorite is a private perennial garden, which boasts tables and seating among about 1,500 perennials in a secluded setting. “It is ever-blooming, all season.”

By Becky Raspe Beauty trends offering something new, different and refreshing to our routines come and go every year, but one trend is promising this in a big way: products that keep you beautiful inside and out.

Enter “clean beauty,” which Kait Turshen, founder of SLFMKR in Shaker Heights, describes as any personal care product made without harmful or potentially harmful ingredients. Her shop, which touts itself as a modern apothecary that focuses on clean beauty and self care, only carries products that don’t contain ingredients like parabens, PEGs, phthalates, SLSs and SLESs, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes or toluene.

“Questionable ingredients like these have been linked to hormone and endocrine system disruption, among many other health concerns,” Turshen says.

But why is clean beauty blowing up right now?

Turshen says it’s because there has been a major reckoning in the beauty industry over the ingredients used in our favorite products and how they can negatively impact the health of the consumer.

“The U.S. Food & Drug Administration currently only bans 11 ingredients in cosmetic products and just 30 ingredients in all personal care products,” Turshen says. “As a point of reference, the European Union bans about 1,400 ingredients. I know I was personally shocked by these statistics when I started my clean beauty journey and that knowledge empowered me to shop in a more conscious way.”

Not only is it a current trend, but Turshen says it is the best way to shop and can be a continued beauty commitment long after a new trend hits the collective consciousness.

“I love that the movement has encouraged more accountability for both consumers and brands,” she says. “Every day we have people stop in our shop to chat about their journey of transitioning to a cleaner regimen. People are shopping in a more conscious and empowered way.”

Feeling overwhelmed and wondering where to start? You don’t have to create a whole new beauty routine from the jump, Turshen says.

“For those ready to start their clean beauty journey, I love to direct people to deodorant as their first stop,” she says. “If you’re someone who has been using aluminum-based deodorant for decades of your life, it is a great first product to switch to clean.”

SLFMKR is at 20146 Walker Road in Shaker Hts.

By Becky Raspe As the days grow shorter, warmer temperatures give way to a crisp coolness in the air, indicating the seasons are shifting in Cleveland. While it can seem overwhelming to transition your wardrobe to work in colder months, luckily current trends lend themselves to identifying staple transitional pieces you may already have and love. Think cable knits, matching sets, cowboy-esque pieces, loose-fitting pants, warm browns, fringe and flannel items. And according to the professionals at Kilgore Trout in Woodmere and Sanity in Chagrin Falls, these trends work for any gender.

Baking a big break Two businesses started during the COVID-19 pandemic – Challah at Meg and Yaya’s Desserts – deliciously solidify their places in the small-batch food scene

By Amanda Koehn

A

s the coronavirus began its intrusion on our lives in March 2020, Meghann Hennen, an early childhood teacher at the Mandel Jewish Community Center in Beachwood, adapted like everyone else. She stayed home, transitioned her class to meet virtually and changed just about everything else we all know too well.

Hennen’s class holds Shabbat services each Friday, and she wondered how would she get challah to do hamotzi remotely.

Usually the J would provide the bread, and she had never baked it herself. In fact, her husband, Patrick, did most of the cooking at home.

Always resourceful – she’s also a painter, performance artist and dance teacher – the 38-year-old Shaker Heights resident started looking up challah recipes and became a baker.

“I started doing it just for our Zoom Shabbats for school,” says Hennen, who incorporates her artistic flair into her newfound baking skills. “... I would offer it to the families in my class. It started from there, and I did that for like three weeks. And then I was like, ‘I wonder if I could sell these?’”

Around the same time, just about 5 miles away in Beachwood, Yael Herooty began to feel unstable working in the restaurant industry as pandemic-related shutdowns became normal and expected. A certified pastry chef, she had already run her own French pastry business back in her native Israel and started putting together a similar concept in the states when she

moved here about two years prior.

Although she put starting her business on hold when she was hired by a local restaurant, the pandemic made her rethink her choice. She had already conceptualized a modern, light and intricate look for her desserts.

“I kind of just went from there with the cakes and the photography,” Herooty, 33, says.

As the world shut down and slowly started back up, last year provided both women the opportunity to create their small baking operations, both run out of their home kitchens. Now, after working out the initial kinks, their businesses – Challah at Meg and Yaya’s Desserts – continue to build momentum.

CHALLAH AT MEG Working out of her Shaker Heights apartment, Hennen’s kitchen might best be described as cozy yet set up for efficiency. Bubbly and somewhat of an open book, she’s a deft social media user, especially Instagram, @challah_at_meg.

She regularly shares photos of her signature flavored challah creations as well as updates about her life and business that often are uplifting mixed with vulnerability. When you first meet her in person, you feel like you already know her.

“I’ve always had a way of sharing my story through social media even before I feel like Instagram was popular,” says Hennen, who grew up in Beachwood, lived in New York City for 10 years after college and returned to Northeast Ohio in 2015. “… I’ve always been posting food and taking pictures

jstylemagazine.com

and sharing my journeys and being vulnerable that way. I guess I’ve taken all of my years of experience of what I know and put myself out there through social media.”

That doesn’t mean it’s always easy, she explains. Dealing with her own insecurities and anxiety, she says when other people call her business “successful” or say she’s “Cleveland famous,” it’s hard for her to feel its true.

“It’s all very awkward to me because it’s like, I’m not wealthy, I live in a very small apartment in Shaker Heights,” she says. “I feel like we all have our own differences of like what success looks like. I feel like I’m definitely on to something, I’ve made something from nothing. … It’s something that gives me joy and helps me out through insecurities and things.”

Back last year, friends and family slowly gravitated toward buying her challah loaves, often developed with fillings, flavors and seasonings from Trader Joe’s, where her husband works. She also follows Instagram-famous challah baker Mandy Silverman, @mandyliciouschallah, and gets inspired by her creations.

Slowly, things picked up.

“I really hustled a lot during the pandemic because I had so much time at home,” she says, at first taking orders with a Google Doc and doing deliveries three times a week.

Growing up eating challah from Davis Bakery in Woodmere, by comparison, she says her breads are “gigantic,” sweeter and slightly more dense. Her flavors include asiago and rosemary, fig and goat cheese, pizza, chocolate raspberry and s’mores.

Still working her day jobs, Hennen says Challah at Meg continues to be busy. She started a website earlier in 2021 and often is booked for orders weeks to months in advance.

Customers include individuals and families, as well as serving special occasions like b’nai mitzvah and weddings.

In some ways, the pandemic made starting her business possible. She was able to take part in Zoom baking trainings she could do from home and didn’t have time-consuming social outings she instead spent on her business. Now a year-and-a-half into it, work-life balance is becoming more of a consideration.

“Running a small business is not easy whatsoever,” she says.

“It’s all about budgeting your money, budgeting your time.”

When often asked if she would quit her jobs to run Challah at Meg full time, the answer is “not anytime soon.” While she would like to buy a house with a bigger kitchen that includes a double oven, working out of her home is a good fit for now. It allows her the flexibility to bake when she wants without having to travel to a professional kitchen.

But growth is still happening. Last month, her temple, Suburban Temple-Kol Ami in Beachwood, asked her to begin making its weekly challot for Shabbat services. It’s her first major partnership to date.

And despite any challenges, Hennen continues to enjoy making challah – it pulls her away from day-to-day anxieties and life’s more complicated challenges.

“It’s just something fun that brings joy to people and brings joy to myself,” she says.

YAYA’S DESSERTS Herooty was raised in Omer, a suburb of Be’er Sheva in southern Israel. Certified as a professional pastry chef in 2013, she started her own French pastry business called Marie Antoinette.

Several years later, she moved to the United States to further her business endeavors, and to get more in touch with the life her mother lived before she immigrated to Israel from her native San Francisco Bay Area before Herooty was born. Her mother soon followed her to Cleveland and now resides in Chagrin Falls while the rest of her immediate family remains in Israel.

“My business grew to a point where I kind of wanted it to grow more,” Herooty explains. “And I felt like it wasn’t possible where I was. Also, because I was always interested in my mom’s

history and why she moved and how she grew up.”

Skilled, meticulous and affable, she began conceptualizing Yaya’s Desserts once she arrived in Cleveland. But before it launched publicly, she accepted the opportunity to become the executive pastry chef at Blu, the Restaurant in Beachwood.

But in 2020, when restaurants had to shut down due to the pandemic, she decided to become self-sufficient by re-engaging in her own business.

“Everything was showing we were going into a shutdown again,” she says. “That’s when I realized I need to be dependent on myself and be able to create and take care of myself. That’s when I decided it was the right time to do this.”

Yaya’s Desserts opened for Chanukah, with Herooty debuting Israeli-style holiday doughnuts, or sufganiyot.

“That got me started and I did really well, and that got my name out there,” she says.

Soon, she did a collaboration with Seth Weinstein, who is behind the yoga and foodie account @clevelandfoodandflow on Instagram (Weinstein was also honored by the Cleveland Jewish News in its 12 Under 36: Members of the Tribe class of 2021). Around then, she decided to focus her business on the cookie cakes now featured all over her Instagram page, @yayas_desserts. It’s an uncommon niche she’s not seen elsewhere locally.

“I like to call it a reconstructed tart because it’s basically … two layers of tart base and there is cream in between,” she explains.

Her cakes often take on noteworthy shapes for whatever the occasion – such as a birthday number or a specific letter – and any colors or theme. They are then adorned with decorations such as macarons, fruit, chocolate or little edible shapes, most of which are also made by Herooty.

Baking from the home she owns in Beachwood and resides in with her boyfriend, her kitchen is bright and modern, yet not massive. Being used to working in a professional kitchen, it’s taken some adaptation. She has an industrial table and is still making

56

adjustments, “but it’s not the same,” she says.

“It is kind of difficult because everything takes a little bit longer when you are not working out of an industrial kitchen, and I am also kind of limited with the amount of orders I can take,” Herooty says.

Another adjustment has been her schedule. Back in Israel, like most businesses, she didn’t work on Saturdays. Here, however, baking for special occasions like birthday parties, weddings and such, working Saturdays is essential. Now, Sunday serves as her day off. She also sets certain hours for pickups and deliveries to ensure she has enough time to work on orders and balance her personal life.

Like anyone working full time in the modern world, balance is always a challenge.

“I think the most challenging part is you really do everything,” she says. “Sometimes I would find myself at 9 or 10 o’clock at night still responding to people instead of just sitting and relaxing, or either having dinner or an evening at home or with friends or my partner. … It’s your own business and you don’t want to not be responsive.”

Herooty says she’s hopeful to expand and eventually move to a professional kitchen. But with the pandemic and its uncertainty still upon us, she’s taking it slowly.

Herooty and Hennen met each other on Instagram and became quick friends who can connect over their small businesses and baking. Hennen shared an image on Instagram of her challah and an assorted box of Herooty’s desserts that she used for breaking the Yom Kippur fast last month.

And when you make delicious treats for a living, it’s easy to look at the positives and be hopeful, Herooty says.

“People love cakes – you can never get a sad cake,” she says. “It always makes people happy, and I just love that I make things to make people happy. I think that’s the most rewarding thing for me.”

Axis @ Ansel joins Cleveland’s Hough community

By Carlo Wolff

W

hen Brel Erskine arrives for work at Axis @ Ansel, he doesn’t have the Hough area’s troubled history in mind. To Erskine, the 163-unit apartment building he manages at Ansel Road and Hough Avenue in Cleveland’s newly dynamic east side represents promise, not bad memories of a disturbing past.

Erskine and Lisa Wren work for Axis owner/developer Signet Real Estate Group, an Akron-based real-estate developer and project manager whose investment arm is Signet LLC. Signet’s investment branch secured $30 million in financing for Axis, according to a February 2020 cleveland.com article. The money stack also includes revenue bonds from two separate authorities nurturing energy efficiency.

Jstyle

Fall/Winter 2021

Axis @ Ansel, which opened in August 2020, is an energy-efficient, decidedly modern building. It includes a 24-hour fitness center, spaces for collaborative work, secured on-site parking (a cost normally not included in the monthly rent), and pet-friendly options and amenities such as a large pet-washing station with locker rooms.

Each rental unit features large windows, stainless-steel Energy Star appliances, walk-in closets, quartz counter tops, faux wood floors, a concealed washer-dryer space and understated gray-and-white cabinetry. There are also fully furnished opportunities.

“We’re able to give back to the community and to the universe and to the earth, and at the same time, we’re able to keep” costs down, Erskine says.

Axis @ Ansel is at one of the

key intersections in a Cleveland neighborhood known for the Hough Riots of July 18 to 23, 1966. Days of robbery, pillage and arson erupted after the white owner of a bar at Hough and East 79th Street refused to give a Black customer a glass of water. During the rapidly escalating melee, which prompted then Cleveland Mayor Ralph Locher to call for the Ohio National Guard to intervene, four people were killed, all Black. The Hough Riots, along with the briefer, explosive Glenville Shootout almost exactly two years later, were neighborhood responses to years of substandard housing, governmentsanctioned redlining, overcrowding and racial discrimination.

Now, however, the Hough and Glenville areas, sparked in part by development in University Circle, are showing signs of a new phase decades later.

jstylemagazine.com

Turning the page While “eds and meds” institutions are a walk away from Axis, overgrown homes and once-elegant apartment buildings – mute but eloquent evidence of the blight that has dogged much of Cleveland’s east side for well over 50 years – are just as close. At the same time, there’s development action from Glenville – a large area with its own systemic history of poverty – to the southwestern side of University Circle.

At Axis, retail planned for 1,000 square feet on the ground floor and its robust occupancy are healthy signs.

The five-story, 143,000-square-foot building contains 61 studio apartments, 61 one-bedroom apartments and 41 two-bedroom units. Respective monthly rental rates are $1,175, $1,375 and $2,088.

The studios are 540 square feet, the onebedrooms 615 to 785 square feet, and the two-bedrooms 1,025 to 1,305 square feet.

As of mid-August, occupancy was 95%, maybe better, Erskine says. Not bad for opening during the pandemic, he notes.

Three years ago, One University Circle – Mitchell Schneider and James Petros’

20-story, $116-million luxury high-rise apartment building on Euclid Avenue between Stokes Boulevard and Stearns Road – became the first new high-rise in University Circle in more than 40 years.

What began with One University Circle seems to have become a wave.

More residential activity on Cleveland’s newly vital east side is in the works, like The Artisan at Circle Square, a Chester Avenue venture critical to the development of Circle Square – an ambitious, multi-use plan for five acres of land between Euclid Avenue and Chester.

Other recent residential projects include The Triangle Apartments near Case Western Reserve University on Mayfield Road and Mayfield Station Apartments in Little Italy.

There are related developments in the immediate area of Axis, like Innova Living on Chester Avenue at East 100th Street, and the mixed-use Glenville CircleNorth on East 105th Street near Superior Avenue. Notably, Glenville CircleNorth is the first project in outgoing Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson’s Neighborhood Transformation Initiative.

Contemporary and comfortable Axis @ Ansel isn’t pitched to wealthy retirees eager to trade in their suburban home for a more urbane lifestyle in a luxury urban rental. Its target is professionals looking for a place to work – and live.

“When you go to One University Circle, it’s absolutely gorgeous,” says Erskine, noting he used to work there. “You automatically feel like, I better not touch anything. At One University Circle, it’s a whole different feel.

“You feel just comfortable here,” he says of Axis @ Ansel. “We want you to be able to come in, relax in the lobby, take your shoes off, get a coffee.”

Both Erskine and Wren, the director of residential real estate for Signet, tout Axis’ modern finishes, the soothing but not clinical palette of white, black and gray, and hallways carpeted in a subtle light brown pattern. The aim is to be contemporary and comfortable, without amenity excess.

Most Axis tenants aren’t aware of the neighborhood’s history, Erskine suggests.

“For someone who is not used to the experiences of this neighborhood,

they may look at it as a threat,” he says.

“For some people who live in this neighborhood, they look at it as survival.

This place offers you … a different look. “ Today, the location of Axis and its contemporary design are draws.

Prospective tenants are interested in its location near the Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center at The Temple-Tifereth Israel on the campus of CWRU, the Cleveland Museum of Art, CWRU itself and two major hospital complexes, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals. It’s also near the veterans’ hospital, the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center.

“You’re seeing a lot more positives than negatives,” says Erskine, citing the property’s safety features. “Once people get here, they start to see that maybe there is some history here, and they may ask questions. But I think that because of our response and the atmosphere, we’re completely safe.”

He also explains offering amenities like an indoor pool would have added to costs and hiked rental rates. Meanwhile though, “we’re able to give necessities such as a gym, a room to study in. People can go out and explore University Circle.”

It is a consumer-oriented venture.

Wren also points to Axis’ preferred employer program, which offers a monthly discount of $50 to tenants who can prove they work for a dozen nearby institutions, including University Circle, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Orchestra, the VA Medical Center, CWRU, the Clinic, University Hospitals and the Cleveland Botanical Garden. Veterans Administration workers also get free parking and free electricity.

As Hough is being touted for its proximity to University Circle itself, home to major hospitals and cultural institutions, Axis is within walking distance of the new Cleveland Clinic and CWRU Health Education Campus.

“University Circle is the hip place to be at this point,” Erskine says. js To inquire about leasing at Axis @ Ansel, visit axisatansel.com, send an email to leasing@axisatansel.com or call or text 216-282-3558.

By Alex Krutchik The world has opened back up – with some obvious changes – but working, learning and doing more from home is still relatively common compared to just a couple years ago. Because of all this time spent at home, the way decor looks has gone through a shift in the last 18 months. Specifically, people are seeking soft colorful and textured touches to bring some levity and brightness into the home, shifting from the minimalistic, yet perhaps boring palette that has been popular the last several years. Dawn Cook of BLDC Design in Shaker Heights and Abby Hanzie from Laura of Pembroke in Orange say warm neutral colors are replacing the stark gray and white that were long trending.

Lighter colors and warmer wood tones for flooring are becoming popular again.

As many of us are spending more time cooking at home, remodeling the space holds many benefits

emodeling and modernizing home kitchens is all the rage right now. The trend is likely spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic as people are taking advantage of cooking at home more frequently – which is only likely to increase as the temperatures get colder and staying home to make soups and stews becomes a nice weekend activity.

Refreshing kitchen spaces can take a lot of time and work in order to achieve the ultimate look. To help put your ideas into action, two local professionals discuss the best styles right now, noting homeowners are starting to strategically plan their space and embrace elements of nature.

Molly Machmer-Wessels of Woodland Design Company, an interior and exterior design and construction company based in Shaker Heights, gives insight into the most important things

64

Jstyle

Fall/Winter 2021

to consider when remodeling a kitchen. Machmer-Wessels is co-owner of the company with her husband, Fritz.

The first step is carefully planning the design and how it will contribute to what you want to accomplish in your cooking and other kitchen activities. Then, let your designer take it from there, giving the project the appropriate amount of time to do it the right way, she says.

“Take your time, and trust your designer,” she says. “We are all

jstylemagazine.com

about beautiful spaces, but functionality is imperative. We love to design kitchens that are very specific to our clients, how they live, how they eat – all the details of their everyday life. Our goal is always to make life easier, and good design can absolutely do that. Life is hard enough, anything to make it easier is great in our opinion.”

Linda Hilbig, president of Somrak Kitchens in Bedford Heights, says those remodeling their kitchens now often want more storage in case they need to stock up on groceries. This is making pantry space especially important, she says, now involving more organized storage through the use of dividers and containers within cabinets.

Another trend Hilbig notes is that people are increasingly wanting to bring nature and wellness indoors. She explains that trending colors “are more neutral and earthy, like rift-cut oak, twig, bark and smoked gray. Opaque stains and high-pressure laminates that look like real wood are replacing the timeless white look as people move towards natural wood with wood tones.”

Hilbig says another trend revolving around nature is finding ways of bringing pops of color in – “colors of nature such as tangerine, eggplant and artichoke are being used in the form of barstools, sinks or even islands.” Nature has been so important to incorporate into life during the COVID-19 pandemic, people continue to want to utilize the beauty of the outdoors, she adds.

Machmer-Wessels adds that in regard to practical kitchen

Woodland Design Company

trends, at Woodland Design Company “we love a classic kitchen that feels true to the home it’s in. We try to let the bones of a home guide our designs. When designing a space, we often add organic elements to prevent a space from feeling dated. It keeps things fresh.”

One last tip Hilbig gave was to use the website houzz.com, which she says “is a great resource for doing your homework.”

“People can look up what they specifically want and find pictures that can be saved and tagged into an idea book.” Those ideas can then be shared with a designer, which will help in saving time and money, she adds. js
