Gone but Not Forgotten

A statewide effort to remember synagogues provides insights into local history

I wanted to check out Easter-related sites with Wichita Falls ties but came across this Passover-related Website aimed at saving small-town synagogues.
The Texas Jewish Historical Society funded the project to in an effort to preserve at least something of these places. The site features more than 20 such virtual setups, and what they lack in snazzy graphics they make up for in honesty and insight. I don't know much about the Jewish community in Wichita Falls, but I know a lot more for having visited the site. I'm working on talking to someone about the site, so check back.
