Welcome
to the Jewish
Historical Society of Memphis & the Mid-South’s website.
Founded in 1986, The JHS is committed to preserve, collect, present,
and interpret the history and lives of Jews in Memphis and the
Mid-South.
“The Jewish Historical Society of
Memphis and the Mid-South recognized the urgency of capturing the past
before it fades further. Its vision inspired the writing of this book,
and its support has encouraged the project….The history of
the Jewish
community of Memphis is a chapter in the larger
history of
Jews in the
United States. It is also a part
of the
|
|
 |
|
history
of
Jews in the South.
It differs from the other southern Jewish cities insofar as
Memphis
differs from her sister cities.”
—Selma S. Lewis
