Bidding For Bonfires On eBay

eBay has so many auctions running at any given time, a certain percentage of them are going to be off-beat and interesting items. Some of them will even be jewish, and we have seen in the past interesting, or weird, Jewish items or events being auctioned on eBay.

The latest to hit the virtual auction block is the right to light a community's bonfire on lag B'Omer.

The community of Minyan SheLanu in Lakewood, New Jersey, led by Rav Chaim Abadi, is selling the lighting of the bonfire at Blue Claws Stadium..
