In an effort to attract new congregants, the Jewish community of Wynnewood, PA is set to promote their area as an ideal place to relocate. The campaign will be funded by a $20,000 grant, gifted by the Kohelet foundation.

Wynnewood is Philadelphia suburb that offers Jewish schools, temples, Kosher food, and a (relatively) affordable cost of living.

Jewish communities throughout America are shrinking in record numbers, and I applaud creative efforts to reverse the sad trend. Dothan, Alabama tried something similar a few years ago, with mixed results. It will be interesting to see if Wynnewood is able to do better. (Due to its East Coast location and better job market, I predict they will.)

Would you consider relocating to Wynnewood?
