Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple (transliterated from Hebrew as "People of Loving Kindness"), commonly called the Fairmount Temple, was a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 23737 Fairmount Boulevard, in Beachwood, Ohio, in the United States. The congregation was the oldest Jewish congregation in the Cleveland area through mid-2024.[1] The congregation's membership exceeded 2,000 families in the mid-1990s.[2]
The synagogue was a member of the Union for Reform Judaism. On 1 July 2024, Fairmount Temple merged with Temple Tifereth-Israel to create a new Reform congregation, Mishkan Or.[3]
