The Jewish community has long been present in Tom Green County including Greatest Generation members Sylvan and Carol Polunsky. During the 1940s and 1950s Congregation Beth Israel was extremely active and Rabbi David Schnayerson, who served from 1951 to 1971, was a very prominent community leader. While the population of the community has declined these resources show some of the Jewish history of San Angelo including members of the Greatest Generation.
