Synagogue Seats For Auction On eBay For $1.8 Million
Published September 9th, 2007
Two Jewish congregants who work in advertising and marketing came out with an idea to auction on EBay two lifetime front-row seats to services at a synagogue in time for the Jewish high holidays. The initial bidding starts at $1.8 million.
The winning bidder will have the privilege of getting up front with the rabbi. Their family name will be engraved on Seats 1 and 2 of Row 1, Section DD, at Temple Emanu-El. In addition to that, the winning bidder will get two free parking slots, two custom-made prayer shawls and yarmulkes and a big tax write-off. Also, the lucky winner can pass the seats on to his or her children and grandchildren.
