Now on the market is the Hibbing synagogue
where 13-year-old Bobby Zimmerman had his bar mitzvah, the same
building that's No. 8 on the Bob Dylan Walk tour.


      Bobby Zimmerman grew up to be the famous singer and the owners
of the building, Brenda Shafer-Pellinen and her husband, Eric, are
hoping that connection helps sell it.

      Shafer-Pellinen tells the Duluth News Tribune that she has
reached out to Dylan fans on websites such as expectingrain.com and
dylanradio.com. The asking price is $119,000.


      The building hasn't been a synagogue since the 1980s, when the
congregation disbanded and the building was turned into apartments.


      Shafer-Pellinen and her husband bought it in 2001 with the
intent of turning it into a bed-and-breakfast, but the Twin Cities
couple haven't been able to move north.
