Abstract:
Amarillo, Texas, is a city of over 200 churches, one synagogue, and less than 200 Jews. Although isolated from mainstream Jewish life and culture, Amarilio Jews are actively involved in Jewish community life, which revolves around the synagogue. As indicated by their interest in their children receiving a Jewish education, they are also committed to Jewish continuity.
