Congregation Sherith Israel (Nashville, Tennessee)

'Remnant of Israel'), is an Orthodox synagogue located at 3600 West End Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States.

Wedge issues like mixed-gender seating encouraged many from Adath Israel to join the Hungarian congregation.

Since it was next to the Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand Ole Opry, there was some humorous confusion as country music fans walked in by mistake, and began listening to the Hebrew prayer service instead.

It now has a mikvah, a social hall, a large and small sanctuary, and separate kitchens for meat and dairy kosher cooking.

Before his retirement from Sherith Israel, he gave classes about the Tanya, the weekly Torah portion, the Talmud, and how the modern world is placed in the realm of Jewish tradition.

Cantor George Lieberman, an active leader and teacher of the congregation today, joined the synagogue in March 1996.

In addition, he has taught classes about the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (a famous code of Jewish law) and Midrash (a collection of traditional allegories that frequently flesh out details in the Torah), and many other topics.

[citation needed] The Congregation Sherith Israel synagogue location was also the original site of the Akiva Jewish Day School, which Rabbi Zalman I. Posner founded in 1954.
