Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple is a Reform Jewish temple in Beachwood, Ohio, the oldest existing congregation in Cleveland.[1] The name Anshe Chesed is Hebrew for "People of Loving Kindness".[1] The membership exceeded 2,000 families in the mid-1990s.[2]
It is a member of the Union for Reform Judaism.
History
In 1841 the German Orthodox congregation was established and, on February 28, 1842, chartered.[1] In 1845 the Israelitic Anshe Chesed Society was formed when the Israelite Society (part of the original congregation) merged with Anshe Chesed.[2]
In 1846 it built Cleveland's first synagogue;[1] in 1887 it dedicated its second building; in 1912, it became known as the Euclid Avenue Temple, its third home.[2]
In the mid-1800s it became a Reform Jewish congregation.[2]
In 1957 the Fairmount Temple, Anshe Chesed's present home, was dedicated,[2] and in 1958 Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld, former national director of B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation was hired.[1]
Notable Members
- Howard Metzenbaum, the only Jewish Senator from Ohio.
