OUR CAMPUS
What started as 40 acres of unoccupied land in Northwest Austin, became the home of the Dell Jewish Community Campus in 2000. The campus houses the Dell JCC, Austin Jewish Academy, Congregation Agudas Achim, Temple Beth Shalom, and the B’nai Abraham Historic Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in Texas and home of Congregation Tiferet Israel.
B’nai Abraham
Relocated in 2015 to the Dell Jewish Community Campus, B’nai Abraham, the oldest synagogue building in Texas, underwent major renovations and today serves as the home of Congregation Tiferet Israel, Austin’s Modern Orthodox synagogue, and a resource to Shalom Austin and the entire Jewish community.
