point to ponder
May 30, 2009 9:28 pm

Is it possible to have one fundraiser that doesn’t attract people because of food?
Why turn such a big mitzvah into a nefesh habehamis event?
Then you wonder why you are overweight etc.

curious,
May 25, 2009 7:39 am

are we allowed to ask how much was raised,
is that a tacky question?

wow ! What a crowd!!!
May 24, 2009 3:50 pm

This is a real incredible Tzdoko to support. Devorah is an angle of pure Chesed. The event looked well attended and I hope you made a lot of MONEY. Although I was not there physically, I left a small donation for this Mitzvah. May
G-d give you much much strength to continue in your holy work. henya laine

the $2000.00 cake
May 19, 2009 7:51 am

The $2000.00 cake was Ruthie Raymond’s cake from Artwork Sweets (917)602-1368). It was the 3 tiered cake – present boxes. She is probably the most under discovered talent in crown heights. She also makes designer custom cookies and any cake you want, she can create!
