FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
With the reopening of synagogues on the horizon amid the stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic dying down, the Orthodox Union (OU) has launched a challenge grant intended to reinvigorate synagogues and encourage congregants to return to synagogue life.The grants will be awarded to congregations who create innovative programs or services to encourage a return to congregants.“With the pandemic keeping so many community members away from their synagogues, it is imperative that we think together as a community to re-imagine the synagogue experience in a way that excites and motivates members to return,” said OU President Moishe Bane. “It is important to focus on engaging all segments of our community, including youth, women and seniors who have had even fewer outlets over the course of the pandemic to re-engage in synagogue life,” he added.Each grant is worth up to $5,000, the OU will be giving out $100,000 in total.Synagogues who wish to participate in the program can apply through April 30 via the OU website. Announcements of the winners will be on My 14.OU hopes this will “remind community members of the many vital aspects of Jewish life that only happen in a synagogue community.”
