Hollace Ava Weiner at the 2007  Texas Book Festival

Hollace Ava Weiner

Hollace Ava Weiner is a journalist-turned-historian who focuses on Texas Jewish culture. Her latest book, co-edited by Kenneth D. Roseman, is Lone Stars of David: The Jews of Texas, a definitive collection of essays about the Jewish experience in Texas. "Jewish life in the United States is too often told from an East Coast perspective," novelist Dan Jenkins has said, "Lone Stars of David presents a different panorama." Weiner is also the author of Jewish Stars in Texas: Rabbis and Their Work. Weiner is a past-president of the Southern Jewish Historical Society and has received research fellowships from the American Jewish Archives and the Jewish Women’s Archive. She is currently at the helm of the Fort Worth Jewish Archives.
