Anshe Emet Synagogue is a Conservative synagogue located in Chicago, Illinois. It is one of the oldest congregations in Chicago. [1]

History of Anshe Emet Synagogue

Anshe 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 constructed 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 Synagogue established a day school, the first in the Conservative movement, and a speakers series, which featured speakers such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Clarence Darrow. [9]

From 1954-1959, Rabbi Ira Eisenstein, a leader in the Reconstructionist movement, served as Rabbi of Anshe Emet. [10] [11]

In 1961, Rabbi Seymour J. Cohen became Senior Rabbi of Anshe Emet Synagogue. [12] Rabbi Cohen restored observance of the second day of festival holidays, expanded opportunities for women to participate in religious life, and lead the congregation to renovate and expand the synagogue building. [13]

Since 1990, Rabbi Michael Siegel has served as Head Rabbi of Anshe Emet Synagogue. [14]
