Welcome to TEMPLE ANSHE HESED

Affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, Anshe Hesed is a "mainstream" Reform congregation with a strong commitment to American Jewish life and the pursuit of social justice.

We cherish Jewish tradition mixed with a spirit of creativity and imagination; guided by the Torah and dedicated to perpetuating Judaism and its traditions through education, worship, and social action in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

We are a congregation of more than 200 households consisting of business people and professionals; merchants and caregivers; artists and teachers; working and retired families; young and old; couples and singles; traditional and non-traditional families; gay and lesbian; born Jews and Jews-by-choice; spiritual seekers and interfaith families. Our Jewish lives in Erie are enriched by the diversity in our midst.
