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).
