Jazz, door prizes and auction items made for a fun, social event along with fundraising at the Torah School of Greater Washington's Eighth Annual Chinese Auction Sunday night at Beth Shalom Congregation.
Some 300 people turned out for the event to support the Potomac school (grades K6), noted event chair Jessica Eizenstat. "It was definitely a standing-room-only crowd," she said.Among those who came for the cool jazz, food and a chance to win prizes and bid for such items as a snow blower, an iPod nano, Judaica and more was Silver Spring's Jodi Mailman, who said she's come to the shul's annual auction all eight years, but "I never win." However, her daughter, Alana, 17, was one of Sunday's winners, of a scrapbooking kit, "with all the accoutrements."
The grand prize - a two-year car lease for a Honda Civic (or cash) - went to Rabbi Yosef and Ivy Edelstein of Silver Spring.
