The board has been working on the fall fundraiser for the past few months. We have decided to proceed with this fundraiser despite what has transpired in Israel and have decided to donate a portion of the money raised to go to Israel and the remainder to stay with BSvT to cover programs for 2024. We are pairing the fundraiser with a FUN AND GAMES AFTERNOON on Sunday, November 5 from 2-5pm.

There will be tables for mahjong, euchre, rummy cube, chess, cribbage, backgammon, CATAN and skip-bo along with “professional” instructors to teach, or just come to socialize. Please bring your children and grandchildren. The children’s activities will be supervised.

Included– snacks and dessert, a gift coupon for every family from Ajax’s best bakery, fabulous door prizes and a silent auction of vintage glassware and more. The winning tickets for all the raffle prizes and 50/50 draw will be picked that afternoon. (You don’t have to be present to win.) It all adds up to be FUN, something many of us may need at this time. Please RSVP.

Below is the list of more than 30 fabulous prizes divided into Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories with Tier 1 being the most expensive.

Silent Auction

Here is a sampling of the latest items to be added to the silent auction.

We started 5782 with a bang, or at least a flame and a song. Over 30 people joined together outside at a beautiful location in Uxbridge on a beautiful day to raise funds and fun. The BBQ was performed by master Chef Leon who did a marvelous job, even on the BBQ veggie burgers, so good in fact that I had three. (Sorry Sabina).

The afternoon kibbitzing was intermixed with a great game of guess the composer. Who knew we would be humming winter carols in October.

Then there was the actual fundraiser portion of the afternoon. Beryl and others worked long and hard on this and it was a smashing success. Many people won exactly what they had there hearts set on and there was much joy in the village.

Eventually people wandered away after very long good byes and Leon’s backyard became a place of serenity once again.

Thank you to all who donated, bought tickets, organized, cleaned, shopped, cooked, cheered, sang, zoomed and put this together. The success of our little Shul depends so much on people like you and all of your contributions.

Toda Roba.
