Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Larry Blumberg and Associates and JCS, the Jewish Community Services of Dothan. JCS was formed during the fall of 2007 operating under the auspices of Dothan’s Temple Emanu-El. Our initiative to advance Dothan’s Jewish Community is named the Family Relocation Project. The Family Relocation Project is truly distinctive, compared to dozens of similar activities nationwide. Dothan’s project has been carefully designed to answer your questions/concerns, be your community connection, and help you afford your move to join our community. JCS stands ready to be your community resource (Dothan’s “Jewish Welcome Wagon”) and provide significant relocation financial assistance up to $50,000.

Can $50,000 Buy a Jewish Community?
Why did a Jewish philanthropist put up a million dollars of his own money to get Jews to move to Alabama? And ten years into his experiment, does he consider it a success? And as synagogue membership declines across the US, how do we define a Jewish community? The Kibitz speaks with Larry Blumberg, the man behind the program offering $50,000 for families to relocate to Dothan, Alabama, as well as some of the families that have made the move. Plus director of the documentary There Are Jews Here, Brad Lichtenstein.
