Rabbi Hyman Judah Schachtel (1907-1990) was the chief rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel in Houston from 1943 to 1975, continuing there as rabbi-at-large for the remainder of his life.
His first pulpit was at Congregation Shaaray Tefila (sometimes referred to as the West End Synagogue) in New York City, where he served from 1931 until his arrival in Houston. Schachtel became a close personal friend of Lyndon B. Johnson, and delivered the inaugural prayer at President Johnson's inauguration in Washington D.C. on January 20, 1965.
