The community story that inspired Hebrew Union Temple…
The Jewish community has played an important role in the Mississippi Delta since before the Civil War. The Hebrew Union congregation loosely began in Greenville in 1869. Located today in downtown Greenville, this temple was constructed originally as Hebrew Union School in 1881 and was later converted into a synagogue in 1905.
One of the coolest legacies of this community (in my opinion) is the Annual Deli Luncheon, a tradition serving corned beef on rye to Deltans for over 130 years. According to the Southern Foodways Alliance, a Chicago deli ships 400 pounds of corned beef each year, a local bakery makes the rye bread, and a 4th generation Greenville, Mississippi family makes the sauerkraut using Betty Goldstein’s recipe, a local legend in the community. “Some say, though, it’s not as good as Betty’s because it’s missing the ash that would accidentally fall in the pot from her cigarette.”
