	I was there three or four years ago.  I remember that there were
	two synagogues there: Conservative and Reform.

	Neither had daily Minyan.  If I remember, the Reform is Friday
	night only, and the Conservative is Friday night/Sat AM only.

	There's a store which has some Kosher packaged deli.

	Not a huge Jewish population, and not (on the whole) observant.

	I don't know if this is positive or negative for you!

    According to my information, Mobile, Alabama has 1,200 Jewish People.
    Add that to your info/decision tree.
