Temple Adas Israel (Brownsville, Tennessee)
Temple Adas Israel is a historic synagogue located at the intersection of Washington and College Streets in Brownsville, Tennessee, United States. Built in 1882, it is the oldest synagogue building in Tennessee and one of fewer than a hundred surviving 19th century synagogues in the country. On January 19, 1979, Temple Adas Israel was added to the National Register of Historic Places.〔
==History==
Brownsville's Jewish community began when two German Ashkenazim immigrants, brothers Joe and Sol Sternberger, founded the Adas Israel Congregation in 1867. When the Sternbergers immigrated to the United States, they brought a Torah written on sheepskin. Led by Isaac Levi, the Orthodox community first met for prayers in the home of Jacob and Karoline Felsenthal. Over the next fifteen years, Adas Israel moved towards Reform Judaism and membership grew to 25 families.〔
In 1878, the congregation founded Adas Israel Cemetery, a Jewish burial ground still in use today. The congregation became too large to continue meeting in local homes; therefore, a 200-seat wooden synagogue was built in 1882. A large ceremony took place on March 2, 1882 for the synagogue's dedication. Attendees included not only congregation members, but many of the city's non-Jews. Emil Tamm became the first lay leader to lead the congregation in its new temple. Because Adas Israel congregation has never had a full-time rabbi, subsequent lay leaders have included Abe Sternberger, Morton Felsenthal, Fred Silverstein, and Fred Silverstein Jr. Carolyn Celia Key Raney, great great granddaughter of Isaac Levi, also served as a lay reader in the late 1970s, standing in for Morton Felsenthal during a one year leave of absence, and reestablished the Temple's Sunday school. However, during the 20th century the congregation's membership began to shrink. Currently, about 12 families attend Sabbath services on Friday night at Temple Adas Israel.〔〔
