Group offers $50,000 for Jews who move to Alabama town

"The Northeast has a really warped perception of what the South is all about, and I found out it was all wrong," she said. "The South is a wonderful place to be. The people are warm and friendly. There's very little traffic. And best of all, there's no snow."

It really depends on what part of the south you go to. Some places are tolerant, while other places would give you dirty looks and call you a slut for having a black boyfriend. *sigh* I guess all we can do is be patient.

50Gs? I'm Jewish!! sort of, I mean we're all Jewish at heart if we truly believe, right?

yes, appeal to their one weakness, ingenious

whatever

Better putting your money into helping Jews move from Russia back to Israel where they are safer.

ok, I am part Jewish from my Mother's side of the family.....and I could really use the money...this article is just too strange!

This might be the wierdest story I ever come upon.

I couldn't resist.

They only want them because they think they're the key to Jesus coming back, and that is NOT a joke.

Not but 20 years ago, the sermons they preached about Jews were not so friendly.

weird . very very weird .

I thought it was weird at first.
But upon further investigation- I realized that it's for real. And it kinda makes me smile.
It seems all he wants to do is keep Judaism alive in that community.
I don't see any harm in that. hope it all works out.

I am offering $50,000 for any sex offender who will move to that town. ;=P

I think I will become Jewish...I could use da money....but would it be worth it living in Hickville USA

Pericles, you have found the odd bird of the day to be sure. I am certain the sentiment and idea behind this is quite nice, but it just plays weird. Perhaps the entire purpose is to create a mass conversion.

If I lose my claim with Social Security, I may just have to convert to Judaism and buy plenty of mosquito repellant, and check into flood insurance.

How's this for an idea? Somebody please make the same offer for disabled fathers of 5 that live in $2,000 trailer homes, with a saint of a wife slaving to support us with a 16k gross salary at Wal-Mart and have to skip a months worth of needed meds for Christmas, or to get my son a letter jacket. Hope that movement begins someday.

50 grand is not enough to move to fucking Alabama.

I would not be surprised if it is a plan to speed up the return of Christ, as so many weird sects kind of believe that America is the choosing nation of God. Really its the Jews in Jerusalem that will lay ground for World Redemption.

I wonder what is the going rate for Muslims
