History

Beth Israel Congregation of Ann Arbor was the first conservative congregation established in Michigan, founded In 1916 by Osias Zwerdling, Philip Lansky, and other members of the Ann Arbor Jewish Community.[3]

In 1997, Gerda Seligson received the Jewish Theological Seminary's Second Century award. A video recording of this event can be found in the Synagogue's records.

Beginning in the early 2000s[when?] protestors began to gather on the sidewalk outside of the synagogue. The Congregation filed a federal lawsuit against the protestors in 2019, asking for an injunction to stop the protests and damages for emotional distress. This injunction was followed by a Amicus curiae brief from the Michigan branch of the American Civil Liberties Union that supported the Congregation, while also defending the protestors right to First Amendment speech. The injunction was dismissed in August 2020, re-filed, and affirmed in 2021 by the Sixth Circuit.[4]
