Anshe
Chesed Fairmount Temple offers a variety of Shabbat experiences to give voice to
the varied sounds of prayer in our community. Experience the spirituality of
Shabbat with family and friends, while instilling or reinforcing an appreciation
of Judaism. Shabbat affords us an opportunity for worship, for study, for
prayer, and reflection on what is most precious in our lives. You are invited to the Shabbat experience that speaks to you.
These services are open to all. If you would like to learn more about
Fairmount Temple and are interested in becoming part of this
synagogue-community, call us at 216-464-1330.
Shabbat Evening Service
Every Friday Evening
6:15 p.m.
The second Friday of each month is a Kabbalat Shabbat with contemporary
music in a spirited, informal environment and is followed by a hot'n'hearty
oneg (or cool'n'crispy in the summer!).
KIDushat Shabbat
First Friday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
This 45-minute service is especially inviting to young families with
preschool-age children. It's very interactive, fun and a wonderful way to introduce
Anshe Chesed's next generation to the joy and celebration of Shabbat.
Chevrei Tikva Shabbat
Third Friday of each month at 8 p.m.
All are welcome to participate in Chevrei Tikva Chavurah, which has special

is open to all.
