    Marc Schneier is one heck of a business man. He hobnobs with some of the wealthiest jews on the planet and learned just how to do that from pop.

    $36,000,000 total for a building! I would think reform Temple Emanuel would have sold out at that price. Think what maftir Yonah is going to cost there next year.
