t's a fact that Jews live in the
most unexpected places —
Rangoon, for instance, or even
Alabama.
Yes, there are Jews throughout the
South, and many of them even take
on the cultural coloration of the
natives.
For a glimpse, check our the Dixie
Jews home page, a brief but interest-
ing examination of Jewish life across
the old Confederacy.
This no-frills site offers a surprising
amount of information, and lots of
links to sites where you can get more.
The opening page is jarring — a
background of Confederate battle
flags with a Torah scroll in the fore-
ground, a juxtaposition that may dis-
turb some visitors.
One part of the site offers brief
sketches of the Jewish demography of
the South. There's a link for each
state; go there, and you'll get the

basics (Mississippi has only 1,400
Jews, while Florida has about
628,000).
For each state, there are also links
to local organizations such as Jewish
community centers and federations,
synagogues and museums, as well as
city and state government offices.
More interesting still: a collection
of general links on Jewish history and
life in the South. Here you can con-
nect to institutions such as the
Museum of the Southern Jewish
Experience, the Southern Jewish
Historical Society, a site on Jews in
the Civil War and the "Everything
Jewish in Florida" site.
Organization of the site is straight-
forward; there some pretty pictures to
break up the expanses of white space,
but little with Jewish content.
Still, the Dixie Jews site is a worth-
while stop for cybernauts interested in
the diversity of Jewish life.
