Move to Dothan For Money

Move to Dothan for money? Yes it is true! Temple Emanu-El in Dothan is working with Blumberg Family Jewish Community Services of Dothan to increase the membership of the temple in Dothan. This organization is offering as much as $50,000 dollars to families who will to Dothan and live for at least five years. Over the years the Temple Emanu-El has lost more than half its membership and is left with a remnant of about 50 families. Rabbi Lynne Goldsmith hopes this works for the temple. They are advertising this program in Jewish papers in Miami, Boston, Providence, R.I., and Washington so far. Finding young people to use their religious school and help create a family atmosphere in the temple would be great. So many Jews have left our area for the bigger cities and some have died, leaving our Dothan temple slim on members. Of course, there are requirements such as securing employment, no criminal record, etc. in order to receive the money, but the money doesn't have to be repaid. I think this would be a great opportunity for a Jewish family.
