Welcome

Shalom to Jewish families, those with younger children and empty nesters, currently living throughout North America!

Following is our organization's Mission and a summary of the very exciting and successful Family Relocation Project.

Mission

Blumberg Family Jewish Community Services seeks to build, sustain, and assure the continuity of a vibrant Jewish community in Dothan, Alabama.

Our work is driven by the core values of areivut (assuming responsibility for our fellow Jews) and chased (performing acts of loving kindness).

We are guided by a deep devotion to Judaism and a profound commitment to fulfill the Biblical imperative of tikkun olam (repairing the world).
