Donkey dung from the Holy Land

Historically, pilgrims to the Holy Land have tried to return with fragments of the true cross. Modern pilgrims have a more prosaic option...

Visitors to Menachem Goldberg's tourist compound at Kedem village in Galilee can buy pieces of donkey dung presented in a plastic cube inscribed with religious text.

Mr Goldberg based the idea on a phrase in the Jewish Talmud which says, '"Let the messiah come... may I be worthy to sit in the shadow of his donkey's dung."

At the BBC link there is a video (text here). Mr. Goldberg says the donkey dung is "quite expensive" but I haven't been able to find a website listing its price. Perhaps it will show up on eBay...
