In Their Footsteps, the booklet for Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim’s 10th annual Chinese Auction, looks like a relic from the past. But view the pages (in the booklet or on-line) and you’ll see that this auction is anything but dated.
One of the most breath-taking parts of the booklet is not the magnificent auction prizes – though there are many of them. Rather, it is the “class pictures” from previous generations. Printed side-by-side with students of today, these photos remind us that we are all following in the footsteps of the Chasidim of days gone by. The auction is the fundraiser for the scholarship fund that benefits the children’s education directly.
In Their Footsteps is taking place on this coming Sunday, January 18. Don’t miss out on all the fabulous entertainment, free giveaways, delicious food and creative set-up.
The past truly meets the present at the Wireless Technology Expo from 3 pm – 6 pm. Presenters include Nokia, LG, Blackberry and AT&T. There will be free giveaways and free phone raffles.
Throughout the day, milchig treats will be waiting for you to enjoy. A coffee bar, ice cream bar, spectacular chocolates, extravagant cheesecakes and a delicious hot buffet in the evening, will prove to you that a fundraiser never tasted so good!
But lest you think that this event is just about dream-inspiring prizes and mouth-watering food, think again. Because the evening promises nourishment for the soul and mind as well. At 6 p.m. Rivky Krinsky will be singing a special performance for women only. She has touched women throughout the world and her soulful voice is sure to uplift and inspire the women of our community, too.
The keynote speaker for the evening will be Dr. David Lieberman. His most recent book synthesizes Torah wisdom and psychological tools to rise above one’s nature. He will lecture on the topic of Self Esteem in Today’s World.
The evening will close with a live webcast @ yttl.org, of the Chinese Auction raffle drawing. With Miriam Friedfertig as the chairlady, the raffle drawing will be full of spunk and spirit, especially, the grand prize of $18,000 in cash!
And even if you don’t win one of the prizes you had your heart set on, everyone leaves this auction a winner. All of the guests will receive a pair of fresh water pearl earrings and all the men will receive a voucher for a free cellular phone accessory at AT&T.
