About Us

July 2008....

celebrated our second year anniversary as a new and exciting expression of Judaism in San Antonio, Texas.  It's hard to believe that we are now in our third year and still growing!

One of the primary responses of visitors to our congregation is to comment on the warmth and friendliness of the people.  After experiencing one of our Shabbat services it is clear to see that the warmth and friendliness of the congregation is a reflection of those same qualities that are so clearly expressed in our leader, Hazzan David Silverstein.

Congregation Israel of San Antonio welcomes people from all branches of Judaism and those investigating Judaism.  Our Saturday Torah studies provide stimulating discussions and opportunities for learning more about all aspects of Judaism and especially about the instructions given to us to live blessed and holy lives as children of the Eternal.  This "family" aspect of Judaism is a clear and strong emphasis in all of our activities at Congregation Israel.

To include a name on the Yahrzeit (Remembrance) or Mi Sheberach (Healing) prayer list, please provide those names to Hazzan Silverstien at (210) 387-2436 or at (210) 764-0859 by 2:00PM each Wednesday.  You may also submit a prayer request for healing at the service itself.  Please hand it to the Hazzan as he ascends the bema.

If you know someone who is hospitalized and would like to be visited by Hazzan Silverstein, please contact him at the telephone numbers listed above. 

Minyan services are available with 24 hours advance notice.
