B'nai Abraham Synagogue, Brenham
B'nai Abraham Synagogue, Brenham, Gothic Revival synagogue in Brenham, United States
The white clapboard building features pointed arched windows and stands with the Aron Kodesh on the eastern wall and the Bimah in the center space.
Built in 1893 by Eastern European Jewish settlers after their first synagogue burned down in 1892, the structure served the growing Jewish community in Washington County.
Twenty charter members established the synagogue under Rabbi Israel's leadership, with L. Fink as president and F. Susnitsky as vice president in 1885.
The synagogue relocated 90 miles west to Austin's Dell Jewish Community Center in 2015, where it underwent structural upgrades and restoration work.
The building was divided into three sections for transportation during its relocation, marking the end of its status as the oldest Orthodox synagogue in Texas.
