Congregation Shaareth Israel
Biographical notes:
The Congregation Shaareth Israel had its origins in the Jewish community in Lubbock Texas in the early 1930s. As the community grew, members recognized the need to establish a Synagogue. The group's success in business and overall satisfaction with the area enticed more individuals and families to move to Lubbock and join the community. Several different buildings were adopted or built to house the growing congregation, including a Synagogue built at 23rd and Avenue Q in 1942. Most recently, in 1985, the congregation built a new temple in southwest Lubbock. Notable Rabbis include Rabbi Alexander Kline, who served the community from 1960-1981.
