In 589, Reccared, king of the Visigoths in Spain, converted from Arian to Catholic Christianity. Arianism was banned, and after a brief period which saw the repression of rebellions, eliminated from the kingdom. All Goths were required to become Catholic. This watershed in Visigothic history both necessitated and facilitated a renegotiation of the parameters of Gothic identity.

This article presents a detailed look at an individual Jew's contributions to Brownsville and the adjacent border area. It illustrates the need for more local studies of a biographical nature to add to our knowledge of Jewish Texans.
