( I’m an old Mott the Hoople fan )
On the way into Memphis for my quick day’s trip, I realized my flight would arrive late so I placed a call to Esther Katz, one of the directors at Anshei Sphard Synagogue. I told Esther that I had no idea how late my flight would arrive and is there any chance I might possibly find a late maariv minyan somewhere in Memphis. Esther simply said, in her typical Southern Hospitality way, “not to worry, just text my cell phone when you arrive and I will guarantee you there will be a minyan, regardless of how late you come in. I’ll start making calls.” Lo and behold, Esther put together a late minyan for me. Amazing
The following morning I davened at Young Israel of Memphis
Nothing more important in a beit midrash than a good foosball table
Mincha was at Baron Hirsch Synagogue. Originally founded in 1847, the shul at one time was the largest Orthodox congregation in the United States.
