I absolutely love Temple Israel! I go every Friday night to welcome in Shabbat. All of the rabbis…read moreare very friendly and welcoming. The synagogue is very large, and there's always a huge crowd on Friday nights. There's lots of snacks and red and white wine before service, and more wine and challah bread after service. The services are one hour long, and the siddur is transliterated for those who aren't fluent in Hebrew. Best place to go to welcome the Sabbath!

After living down here for almost 2 months we finally found ourselves a temple…read more I couldn't begin to imagine how wonderful and friendly everyone would be. I've gotten calls to make sure we know about upcoming events (since we aren't on the mailing list yet). They also have a Tot Shabbot once a month so our toddler can go to services. We went last night and the cantor was wonderful. Our son had such an amazing time. I'm looking forward to attending the mommy and me classes.

For example, its Rabbi during the early 20th century, Hardwig Peres, acquired scholarship funding for a poor Memphis lad and future Supreme Court Justice, Abe Fortas, to attend college. The campus of the synagogue is located on land that used to be where Isaac Hayes' home was situated.

I called before I went, and said that I was unable to like Shabbat candles in my dorm. He got Shabbos candles for me to light for the Friday night service that I went to. Oh and the Saturday Shabbat morning services begin at 10 which is one of the best things ever. Definitely recommend this synagogue.

A warm and welcoming synagogue. My husband is not Jewish and he was warmly welcomed.

The Rabbi is very friendly and knowledgeable, and so welcoming when I spoke with him before attending.

We don't get to attend regular events, but I always look forward to finding an event that fits into our schedule.

I am reviewing the Waffle Shop at Calvary Episcopal Church. The food was very good. We tried the…read morewaffle which was very fluffy!! The chocolate mousse dessert was good but very sweet. My friend and I shared the fish pudding plate that had fish pudding, corn sticks, cole slaw and potatoes. The fish pudding is like a casserole. I was happily surprised. It was made with a lot of catfish, celery, onions, breading and yummy seasonings. We enjoyed it. The corn sticks were a little dry. The potatoes were quite tasty and I liked the coleslaw. Coffee was okay. The people and service was spot on! The volunteers were so nice, friendly and helpful. My friend and I plan on making this event a yearly outing. They offer a lenten service after but we could not stay for it. We will return again.
