New to Knoxville???

Are you “New to Knoxville” or just thinking about being “new to Knoxville?”  Either way, we are eager to meet you and brag about our Jewish community.  We have almost everything a Jewish person could ask for in a community, just in smaller quantities.  I invite you to check us out, contact us and let us know what you think.  We are open to new people and new ideas.  However, I have to warn you ahead of time; our Southern Jewish lifestyle is addictive.  Don’t blame us if you fall in love and never want to leave. 

Stephen Rosen can be contacted, questioned and “challenged to prove it” at stephen.rosen@morgankeegan.com  or 865-777-5813.
