I really enjoyed the prize descriptions in the Oorah auction booklet this year. Whoever wrote them is quite talented. Just putting it out there, because I imagine that many people received this booklet but might not have had time to read it.

(I’m not related to anyone there, or have any connection. I just spent a pleasant hour reading the descriptions to my daughters and we were cracking up. At one point it was “pee in your pants” laughter).

They have often been really funny!
Many years ago (15?) the booklet was comic style and there was a comic of a man skiing, going on and on about how nice it was to be away from the hustle and bustle and in the serene environment
And all of a sudden another Jewish man zips up and says NU MINCHA?
I think about that comic all the time!

Oorah employee here!

The auction book was delayed this year, so you'll get it soon! If you want to tell me your account number I can check if we've mailed it Cool

JK please don't. But you can email us again Smile

It is super busy here though with it being the end of the year and all the Kars4kids donations, so any auction issues that came up this week have been put on the back burner (at least for me in my job as customer service lol)

Where and how do I get someone signed up to get boxes for yom tov? With yom tov essentials like a menorah, candles, etc for Chanukah, matzos for Pesach amongst other things, things for Purim, etc?

Is there a way to read it online, or do we have to email to get it?
