Well it was bound to happen. The penny-pinching joos have upped the price of a pew to $1.8 million. What I don't buy is their claim that a joo can pass it on to it's hook nosed children. I have it on good authority that not only does the joo "church" charge an inheritance fee (in six digits!), but the joo parents make their own kids buy the pews off them right before Jesus sends them to eternal damnation. Why anyone would pay that kind of dough just to hear some rabbit brag about how his ancestors killed Christ is beyond me.
FYI: There will be an emergency meeting with our high-priced joo accountants on Saturday night. All pastors are required to attend. Pastor Pistle thinks its high time we restructured our tithing levels, to adjust for inflation.
Synagogue seats go for $1.8M
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Just in time for the Jewish high holidays, two lifetime front-row seats to services at a synagogue here are being auctioned off on eBay. The bidding starts at $1.8 million.
Besides getting to schmooze up front with the rabbi, the lucky winner's family name will be engraved on Seats 1 and 2 of Row 1, Section DD, at Temple Emanu-El. The winner also will receive free parking, two custom-made prayer shawls and yarmulkes, and a hefty tax write-off. Plus, the winning bidder can pass the seats down to his or her children.
"It's a gift that goes from one generation to another," said Rabbi Kliel Rose, who came up with the concept with a little bit of chutzpah and the help of two congregants who work in advertising and marketing.
Temple Emanu-El is a 1,400-seat conservative congregation that was founded in the 1940s on South Beach. It had thousands of members in its heyday, but the temple shrunk to a little more than 200 families by the time Rose arrived two years ago.
