Saw this little article on our trip to Europe in USA Today International . I thought this was a good one. I’m not so sure what to think about it, but it sure makes you think. Here it is:

Two lifetime front row seats to services at a Miami synagogue are being auctioned off on eBay. The bidding starts at $1.8 million, but the rabbi says he won’t be surprised if there are no takers. Besides getting to schmooze up front with the rabbi, the buyer’s family name will be engraved on Seats 1 and 2 of Row 1, Section DD, at Temple Emanu-El. The winner will also receive free parking, two custom-made prayer shawls and yarmulkes, and a hefty tax write off. Plus the winning bidder can pass the seats to his or her children.

Rabbi Kliel Rose said he wasn’t surprised that the auction, which ends today, had drawn no bids. He said it was more about gaining the attention of Jews who are disconnected from their faith. “Hypothetically, if the money comes, it would be great, but the idea is really just to be edgy,” he said.

What do you with something like that?
