Markets in everything, club good edition
Matt S. points me to the following:
Matthew and Michelle Reed, along with their 2-year-old son and newborn baby boy, are the first of what could be a stream of people to move to Dothan [Alabama] under a program that offers Jewish families as much as $50,000 to relocate and get involved with the city's only synagogue, Temple Emanu-El.
A family that's been part of the reform congregation for decades funded the $1 million resettlement program and launched it last year, fearing the congregation would dwindle and die without an infusion of new blood.

reform congregation ....
would dwindle and die
Unsolvable problem, right there.
Reform Judaism like nonalcoholic beer, only looks like the genuine thing.

Why is this called "club good" edition? I don't get it. Or is that what "Emanu-El" means?

I wish somebody paid me to be Mormon.

"Emmanuel" is "God With Us", so I'm guessing Emanu-El is the same.

Richard: "club good" is standard economic jargon (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_good)
