🤠 Making Jewish Connections

Hill Country Jewish Connections is a grassroots effort to build a warm, welcoming, and vibrant Jewish community for families throughout Dripping Springs, Bee Cave, Wimberley, and the greater Texas Hill Country.

We started with a simple idea: every Jewish family deserves a thriving Jewish community close to home. While much of the region's organized Jewish life is centered in North Austin, many families in the Hill Country have limited opportunities to meet other Jewish families, celebrate holidays together, and build lasting friendships.

Whether you've been part of the Jewish community your whole life, are part of an interfaith family, are reconnecting after years away, or are just beginning to explore Jewish life with your children, we hope you'll help us build this community together.

In partnership with Moontower Minyan, this local, grassroots effort is being organized and funded by Dripping Springs mothers and community members Sarah Kline, Amanda Laub and Kelly Shultz.
