Baron Hirsch Congregation is a synagogue in Memphis, Tennessee, marked by long continuity, active lay leadership, and a deeply rooted communal life. Its leadership reflects both professional experience and longstanding personal ties to the congregation. Rabbi Joel Finkelstein serves as Rabbinic Scholar, and Rabbi Lichter focuses on nurturing a diverse and vibrant community with full engagement in its spiritual and physical well-being. The congregation also shows a strong culture of service from within: Gary Makowsky became president in January 2026 after years on the Board of Trustees and earlier service as assistant Shaliach Tzibur and Executive Director, while also serving as cantor. Youth and younger adult involvement are supported by leaders with deep connections to the congregation, reinforcing a culture of tradition, shared responsibility, and sustained involvement across generations.
