Beth Israel, Texas’ oldest Jewish graveyard, was dedicated in 1844, 10 years prior to the opening of the first synagogue in the city. Early burials here reflect the large Jewish immigration from Europe to Houston. Tombstones list places of birth as Bohemia, Bavaria, Prussia, Alsace, Poland and Holland. Many of the epitaphs are in German and Hebrew. http://www.beth-israel.org/membership/cemeteries
