Mizpah Congregation in Chattanooga.(Mizpah Congregation)
Mizpah Congregation here in Chattanooga was founded by members of the Jewish community in 1866, the year after the end of the Civil War.
An early influence on the congregation: the Ochs Family.
Mizpah’s current temple was presented nearly a century ago by Adolph Ochs, publisher of what was then The Chattanooga Times and The New York Times.
On Sunday, November 5th, starting at 3 PM, the congregation will present Music at Mizpah in the temple’s Ochs Memorial Sanctuary - featuring the Emily Nelson Rodgers Quartet.
I spoke with Rabbi Craig Lewis of Mizpah Congregation - along with Emily and her husband David, both musicians.
