Jews in San Antonio
Are there many there? My Jewish friend with his wife and children are moving there in 2 months and he wanted to know if there were many Jews there.

Yes...lots, especially in Clark high school area. Several temples, JCC on both NW Military & bitters. You will see lots of people walking on Saturdays in that area. The HEB on NW Military and Huebner has a large kosher section. |

Lots would be a relative term. But I second that about the HEB and the area. |

Yup, that's where the Chinese restaurant (Beijing) serves hot and sour soup with out pork. Always a giveaway that you're in a Jewish neighborhood!

In that area there are two synagogues - Rodfei Shalohm (sorry if I misspelled) which is Orthodox, and Agudas Achim - which i think is reformed. Temple Beth El is the other large synagogue in town and it's in the Monte Vista area.

That's interesting. I wonder how far back the Jewish population dates in San Antonio. I know that many Jews did come to the US in the mid 1800s from Germany. I guess some of them might have made their way to Texas.

My grandfather came to Texas in the 40's. lol the only illegal alien in my family is a lithuanian jew. A lot came to Texas in the 40's thru mexico when the us stopped taking jews in legally or at ellis island.
Agudas Achim used to be on Donaldson and used to be orthodox. I went to there private school for a while - solomon schecter.
My great uncle, my grandfathers brother, didnt believe there was danger in europe went back and died in a concetration camp. crazy stuff.
