Rabbi Howard Wolk was born in 1952 in the Bronx and grew up in Queens, NY. His father, a cantor, was born in Poland and came over with his parents and siblings, while Rabbi Wolk’s mother was born in Berlin and came to America with her parents and sister before the war. Rabbi Wolk moved with his family to Dallas, where he first became the founding Rabbi of Congregation Shaare Tefilla. He always has been and continues to be a strong role model and active leader within Dallas’s Jewish community and with many organizations, including Jewish Family Service and the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas. As proud parents of six children, Rabbi Wolk and his wife, Annette, have had a great impact on the community and have taught many.

Rabbi: I saw you sometime before the pandemic at Windsor (now Truwood) one time. I very much appreciate your lecture and presence. Although I saw you only that one time, I would appreciate your return if your schedule permits. I have a lot of questions concerning my religion that I hope you can help this old man.,
I promise get as many as I can to attend.
Respectfully
Hello Jay,
We are so glad to hear that had an opportunity to hear Rabbi Wolk lecture! I would like to recommend that you reach our to him via his home congregation to share your sentiment, as this page is rarely monitored by our oral history donors.
Best Regards,
DJHS
Rabbi Wolk!
Mark Guterman from Commack, New York here.
I see from a shul bulletin last year that you are/were associated with Shaare Tefilla. The Bulletin also mentioned an Itamar Wartenberg. Do you know, was Itamar the son of Rabbi Jeffrey Wartenberg, from the Hebrew Academy of Suffolk County?
Hi Mark! We’ve passed your message on to Rabbi Wolk. I suspect he’ll be in touch soon. All best, DJHS Archivist
