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.

The collection consists of art history notes, artifacts,
correspondence, membership directories, financial material, legal material,
newsletters, photographs, printed material, and sermons relating to the
religious life, operations such as constructing the new temple in 1985, and
religious and service groups associated with the Congregation Shaareth Israel
of Lubbock.
