Texas Jewish Historical Society

Website

Texas Jewish Historical Society The purpose of the Society is to preserve the Jewish Experience in Texas. Today, the Texas Jewish Historical Society has over 550 members.

In 1980 Rabbi Jimmy Kessler of Galveston published letters in The Jewish Herald-Voice of Houston and The Texas Jewish Post of Dallas/Fort Worth, calling for the creation of a historical society to preserve the history of the Texas Jewish experience. As a result, in March 1980, the first Gathering of interested Texans took place in San Antonio to organize the Texas Jewish Historical Society, with Rabbi Kessler as its first president. Since its founding, the TJHS has sponsored and encouraged research, publications, and projects on Texas Jewish history, providing a forum for scholars, students, journalists, and genealogists.
