Anshe Emet Synagogue is a Conservative synagogue in Chicago, Illinois. It is one of the oldest congregations in Chicago. [1]
History of Anshe Emet Synagogue
editAnshe Emet Synagogue was established in 1873 in a building on Sedgwick Avenue in Chicago. [2] In 1876, the congregation rented its first permanent meeting place on Division Street and hired Rabbi A.A. Lowenheim as religious leader. [3] Two years later, the congregation moved to another rented location on Division Street. [4]
In 1893, Anshe Emet built its own building on Sedgwick Street. [5] In 1922, the congregation moved north to a new building on Gary Place (later called Patterson Place) near Broadway. Rabbi Phillip Langh served as Rabbi. [6]
In 1929, Anshe Emet moved to its present location of 3715 North Broadway in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. [7] Rabbi Solomon Goldman served as Head Rabbi from 1929 until his death in 1953. [8] Under Rabbi Goldman's leadership, Anshe Emet established daily morning and afternoon services, a full-day kindergarten, and the Anshe Emet Forum, a speakers series, which featured speakers such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Clarence Darrow. [9]
From 1954-1959, Rabbi Ira Eisenstein served as Rabbi of Anshe Emet. [10]
In 1961, Rabbi Seymour J. Cohen became Senior Rabbi of Anshe Emet Synagogue. [11] Rabbi Cohen restored observances of the second day of festival holidays, and offered women of the synagogue new opportunities to participate in religious life. [12] He also lead the congregation to renovate and expand the synagogue building. [13] Rabbi Michael Siegel has served as Head Rabbi of Anshe Emet Synagogue since Rabbi Cohen's death in 1990. [14]
