Sounds rather Biblical. It's the place where Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery. Sold for 50g's? If you want a "Dotan" sans mosque, try Mevo Dotan in the Shomron. Dothan, did you say?

And the $15K small business seed money is also very interesting. A young or youngish professional could appreciate all that, even if living in an apartment, or half of someone else's house, if he or she didn't have $375 for a big house. Somebody who telecommutes a lot, who just needs a modem, with occasional business travel. A WRITER. Maybe a software writer. A recipe guru. An internet personality. CK's remark is spot on.

Good old, all American small town values. That's what. And $50k. I take my hat off to the Jews of Dothan for their initiative. How long will it take Chabad to open a Chabad House there and help create a truly sustainable Jewish community? Y'all wanna laugh at Dothan? Go ahead. But for many Jewish communities in the US, Dothan is merely a glimpse into the future... Not so funny now huh? But you know what Dothan has that say, Boston or God help us, New York, doesn’t have?
