Young Israel of Memphis

Within the Jewish community of Memphis, the “Capital of the Mid-South”, rests the heart of Southern Hospitality. To the membership of the Young Israel of Memphis, it’s more than just hospitality; it’s a way of Jewish life. Our membership remains at the forefront of Chessed projects in our community.

From Scholar-in-Residence programs to opening our homes to travelers from all over the world, the Young Israel of Memphis acts as the lighthouse to the soul of our community. Spreading Torah, Kiruv projects, children’s programming and social programming make the Young Israel family a close knit community of Torah Observant Jews who strive to make a difference in the lives of its membership, our community, Israel and Klal Yisrael at large.
