A UK company has sparked controversy online for selling glass bottles filled with the “freshest coastal air” for up to $105 per bottle.

(JTA) - The heartwarming story has been hard to miss: A law professor is shopping at his local grocery store when he sees an elderly woman struggling to get her favorite jam from a high shelf.

Tens of thousands of people - at least - have shared the story since it began circulating on social media this weekend. It has prompted countless people to vow to buy only Bonne Maman-brand jam, whose 26 varieties are almost all kosher, in the future.

Today, volcanoes are widely considered to be pretty cool. You would be hard-pressed, after all, to go through life without encountering a book or a documentary that s fascinated by the subject, or, for that matter, an enthusiastic young student who s ready to dramatically reenact some of their favorite historical eruptions.
