The community also hosted evacuees from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and evacuees from Savannah and Charleston from Hurricane Matthew in 2016. The community has become a Jewish capital of the south.
“The Jewish community of Atlanta is very excited about having Nachum Segal and his network join us for the week leading up the Super Bowl,” said Robbins. “The network does important work highlighting the star players of the Jewish community and this is a wonderful opportunity for us to share with their listeners some of the highlights of our community. The excitement in the community is palpable.”
Through its partnership with the Orthodox Union on this event, JM in the AM will be featuring interviews with leaders of other Jewish communities in the south and provide them the opportunity to share about their community and why they are a great choice for families. Representatives from Birmingham, AL; Savannah, GA; Charleston, SC; Jacksonville, FL; Charlotte, NC; Orlando, FL; Memphis, TN and many others will join live.

A star-studded lineup set up on Nachum Segal Show with one notable omission. Rabbi Chaim Neiditch, of Toco Hills, who heads the largest NCSY chapter in the country with over 2000 kids in his program should be featured on this program. If as Segal says, Atlanta is the MVP of the Jewish community, Rabbi Neiditch is the MVP of Atlanta. If as Robbins says, the show is to highlight the star players of the Jewish community, there’s no bigger star down south.
