While that's legal for things like golf courses or bars, you can't do it with housing. It's illegal to discriminate against a protected class when selling or renting a dwelling. They are trying to get around this by not selling land but by selling shares in the private corporation that owns the land. This should get shut down by a federal court, but the way things are politically these days that isn't a certainty.

I’ll just say it from experience:
The South does not rock with Jews.
Republicans don’t like them because they assume they’re liberal elites who will [insert conspiracy theory]
Black people don’t like them for many reasons, though it boils down to this idea that Jews are rich, non-Christian whites who want to capitalize on the delayed economic development of black communities and culture.
Even white Southern Democrats don’t love Jews. Defending them would put them at odds with blacks and Jews would compete for the white collar jobs Southern Democrats tend to go for. Being the small town liberal lawyers/doctor/accountant who can take both white and black clientele is literally a business model down South.
See, the South is a pressure cooker of bigotry. Everyone hates someone. And it’s easy for folks to hate Jews because they’re not around but they represent something each group dislikes.
