The Temple Israel Museum initially gave Riss a two-month assignment: Photograph the congrega- tion’s cemetery for a new exhibit in the synagogue’s museum gallery as well as for a picture book. That’s what the veteran Memphis photogra- pher set out to do. But the plan changed after Riss’ first visits to the 16-acre burial ground at 1708 Hernando in South Memphis. The lushly landscaped rolling hills, criss- crossed by paved walkways and rows of ornate statuary, resonated for Riss on his first visit. He felt the sacred place speaking to him. “As I was beginning looking around and mak- ing friends with the cemetery, the cemetery said, ‘You need to relax and be quiet and look around. And you will see stuff,’” Riss recalled. The message received, Riss posed a big ques- tion to project leaders Rabbi Micah Greenstein and Susan Adler Thorp, a lifelong Temple Israel member and veteran journalist. Could he could spend an entire year capturing all four seasons in the cemetery? They said yes, and the result is the just pub- lished “Beloved: A View of One of the South’s Old- est Jewish Cemeteries as Photographed by Mur- ray Riss.” Nearly 200 photos fill the book. Riss captures the cemetery scenes through the filters of morning light, evening shadows, fog, light rain, radiant sun- shine and other points on the weather spectrum.
