News, 'Shalom Y'all': Rabbi travels to small Jewish flocks in South. (religious, beliefs)

[JD59]

NATCHEZ, Miss. — As the sun inched below the horizon in this Mississippi River town, people arrived alone or in small groups and walked up the steps of Temple B'nai Israel on Shabbat.

Only about a dozen Jewish residents remain in Natchez, a city of about 16,400 best known for its elaborate plantation homes. As younger generations moved away, the congregation hasn't had its own full-time rabbi since 1976.

Unfortunately, because it's Passover this week, they won't be able to indulge in pecan pie after the services.

At least some have hope in God regardless of what religious beliefs one holds.

God has provided the hope irregardless of what religious belief on holds.

That is up to the individual to seek it out.
