All three had been in their same locations for over 40 years until Rodfei Sholom moved from the downtown area in 1990. Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg, originally from Brighton Beach, is the spiritual leader of Rodfei Sholom and deserves credit for the recent growth in the community. While at the downtown location weekly minyonim were intermittent, the new location regularly finds a morning and evening minyan. A group of friends of the shul, Sholom Associates, has recently bought 3.5 acres of land adjacent to shul and is developing 21 new home sites on this property. An Eruv built by Eruv of San Antonio, Inc. connects the Eruv of the shul with Sholom Associates property and Oak Meadow, the adjacent neighboorhood where most Shomer Shabbat families presently live.
Many educational opportunities exist and are still growing.
The local Jewish Day School, the Jonathan Netanyahu Academy, is in its 24th year and is located on the grounds of the Jewish Campus adjacent to the JCC and Jewish Federation. Presently over 130 students are enrolled in grades K-8. College credit courses coordinated with UT at Austin are offered in Hebrew, Jewish history and Jewish ethics under the auspicies of the San Antonio Institute for Jewish Studies. A Talmud shiur is held Monday noon at the local medical school using Steinsaltz' Bava Metzia and several groups are learning Tractate Megilla from the Artscroll edition. A learners minyan occurs monthly as does a regular Turn Friday Night into Shabbos.
