Modest, warm, unemphatic, Stanley Ely’s voice is
the kind, slow voice of Texas during the first half of
this century. This family memoir gives a fascinating
account of early Jewish settlers in Dallas —and one
man’s break with his past.
— Edmund White
With an abundance of family photos, In Jewish Texas combines
memories of three generations to tell Ely’s family story, beginning with the immigration of his parents (as young children) and
grandparents to Galveston from Russia and Romania. 
The story
continues until today, as Ely faces his own senior years in New York.
The story of his family and their friends reflects the growth of Dallas
and its Jewish population in the first half of the twentieth century.
