ASBEE is a modern orthodox synagogue where all are welcome. Located in suburban East Memphis, encompassed by the Memphis Eruv, our Spiritual Leader, Rabbi Joel Finkelstein and our cantor, Aryeh Samberg, lead a lively yet dignified and aesthetic prayer service. Our award winning Sisterhood and NCSY chapters offer programs for all ages. Our innovative YASBEE family programs throughout the year are enriching as well as fun. Our shul programs are planned by very active committees where everyone "rolls up their sleeves" to make them happen. Please learn all about us as you navigate through our website. Read the multi-faceted explanations of the Torah & Holidays posted by Rabbi Finkelstein. If you would like to spend a Shabbat in our community please contact us to arrange Shabbat hospitality. People from as far away as Cherokee Village, AR have done so. Shul HistoryWith its origins going back to Civil War times, Anshei Sphard-Beth El Emeth Congregation (ASBEE) is a part of Memphis history. ASBEE was formed by the merging of two synagogues, Anshei Sphard and Beth El Emeth, in 1966. Anshei Sphard was organized in 1893 and chartered in 1904 and was located at Main and Beale Street from 1898-1904; located on Market Street from 1904-48; and at 1188 North Parkway from 1948 until the shuls merged in 1970. Beth El Emeth, which was founded in 1861 and chartered in 1862, was located at 165 Poplar from 1916-58, and at 3771 Poplar from 1958-1970. Our rabbi, Rabbi Joel Finkelstein, and our cantor, Aryeh Samberg, appreciate both the rich history of our shul and its bright future. They are committed to leading ASBEE in the direction of outreach and community service. Our shul is a vibrant Orthodox synagogue with some of the friendliest people anywhere and serves as an umbrella synagogue for Jews of various levels of commitment and observance, while adhering strictly to the principles of Orthodox Judaism. Our synagogue is unique in the way that our members are able to make any visitor feel right at home.
