Congregation Sherith Israel

About

Century-old Orthodox synagogue with a rich history in Nashville, TN

Story

We welcome every Jew to our community, regardless of background, level of observance or knowledge, age, or socio-economic circumstances. As a result, our membership is a microcosm of Jews in America: people who observe all the Mitzvot and those who do not; those who can read the Torah or teach a class and those who are just learning to read the Hebrew alphabet; first generation Americans from Europe, Russia, Iran and Morocco, Israelis, and people whose families have lived in the Nashville area for many generations; young families and seniors and every age group in between. But what is truly special is how all of us unite in worship and in caring for one another. And each of us has something to contribute to the advancement of the Shul about which we care so deeply.

In turn, Sherith Israel has much to offer:

We are thrilled to have our dynamic and multi-talented young rabbi, Rabbi Saul Strosberg, as our spiritual leader. Along with his wife, Daniella Pressner, Rabbi Strosberg teaches in our youth programs, leads adult programing, and engages actively with our members, whether visiting the ill, counseling those with personal situations or religious questions, or simply being a friend. As an added bonus, Rabbi Strosberg is a talented musician who plays the trumpet and piano and loves to sing.

Cantor George Lieberman has developed a strong Sunday School and Cheder program for our children - and because fun times are also important, serves as the leader for our NCSY group and organizes fun outings on a regular basis. Equally important, Cantor Lieberman is someone who always finds time for every individual, to help, to encourage, to teach or just to be a friend
