History
In 1841, the German Orthodox congregation is established and on February 28, 1842, the congregation is chartered.[1] In 1845, the Israelitic Anshe Chesed Society is formed when the Israelite Society (part of the original congregation) merges with Anshe Chesed.[2]
In 1846, it builds Cleveland's first synagogue;[1] in 1887, it dedicates its second building; in 1912, it becomes known as the Euclid Avenue Temple, its third home.[2]
In the mid-1800s, it becomes a Reform Jewish congregation.[2]
In 1957, the Fairmount Temple, Anshe Chesed's present home, is dedicated,[2] and in 1958 Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld, former national director of B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation is hired.[1]
