Congregation Mishkan Or (transliterated from Hebrew as “Dwelling Place of Light”) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 26000 Shaker Boulevard in Beachwood, Ohio, in the United States. The congregation was formed by the merger of Anshe Chese Fairmount Temple and Temple Tifereth-Israel on July 1, 2024[1], and is located in the synagogue that previously housed Temple Tifereth-Israel. At the time of merger, the congregation’s membership was approximately 2,000 families.[2]
History
[edit]In the summer of 2022, the leadership of both temples began an 18-month process that explored the idea of merging the two temples, which were of approximately the same size. A merger agreement was approved by the boards in February 2024, and the membership of both congregations voted to approve the merger in March 2024. Rabbi Richard Jacobs, president of the North American Union for Reform Judaism, was quoted as saying “We have two pillars of Reform Judaism in North America – venerable, historic, long-standing, strong, vibrant places – saying, let’s not just think about the Jewish future, let’s build that future, and let’s do it together. This is something we’ve never seen in Jewish life.”[3]
