Biographical Sketch
Matthew J. Eisenberg was born in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1958. He earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree in international relations from Miami University. He worked for four years as a child care worker at Bellefaire/Jewish Children's Bureau before attending Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion. He served student pulpits in Johnson City, Tennessee, Portsmouth, Ohio, and Fairbanks, Alaska and was ordained in 1991. His first full-time position was with Congregation Beth Israel in Houston, Texas, and in 1991 he assumed the rabbinate at Temple Israel in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. A key player in Temple Israel’s merger with Temple Ner Tamid that same year, Eisenberg now serves Temple Israel Ner Tamid as the senior rabbi, while his father, Frederick A. Eisenberg, serves as Rabbi Emeritus.
Matthew Eisenberg and his wife, Pat, have two children.
