Purim Spoof 09: Synagogues Merge To Save Money

New York — A recent study conducted by the American Jewish Committee shows that an increasing number of synagogues across the U.S. are merging in order to economize during the current fiscal crisis.
“Shuls are blending, and so are their names,” said Dr. Lane D. Parsha, head of the study.
Parsha gave some examples. “In St. Louis, Congregation Ben Zion recently merged with Congregation Gay Gezundt,” he said. “The new synagogue is called Congregation Ben Gay.”
In another instance, The Free Synagogue of Chicago joined forces with The Temple of Love. Their union is called Free Love.
And in Miami, the merger of two houses of worship, Mount Sinai Synagogue and The Children of Israel, has resulted in the hybrid Mount the Children.
