Ansche Chesed is known for its commitment to diversity of membership and diversity of practice. Aside from our common respect for halacha and egalitarianism, there is a wide variety of practice in our congregation. Joining Ansche Chesed is the way to express your commitment to that diversity. Participating in a minyan is your way of choosing the environment most conducive to your own journey in Judaism.

Weekdays services begin at 7:30 AM; on Sundays and
U.S. holidays they begin at 8:30 AM. Weekdays when the Torah is read (Mondays and Thursdays) it starts

Sanctuary Minyan
The direct descendant of the historical congregation at Ansche Chesed, the
Sanctuary Minyan comprises a diverse group of people of all ages, pursuits, and
skills devoted to participating in a rich Jewish life. Encouraging participation
by all its members, the Sanctuary Minyan follows the traditional conservative
liturgy (including full Torah reading and Haftarah and Musaf service). Ansche
Chesed's rabbi, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, delivers divrei torah in the Minyan several
times a month and offers weekly comments on various aspects of the service. The
service and torah reading are conducted by members of the minyan. Weekly
kiddushes after services sponsored by members to celebrate various smachot--or
for no reason at all--add to the open and welcoming atmosphere. Meets at 10:00
AM on Shabbat mornings and all Festivals.
