NEW - Food Auction FAQ  

What is a food auction?

Members of the community contribute food items and attendees bid on them auction style. The winning bidder takes home the item. 

Is this a fundraiser?

This is a fund raising event, not a bake sale. So the initial pricing (and final bid) for the items will be much higher than their actual worth. The idea is to raise money for the shul in a fun and exciting way and you get to take home some delicious food as a bonus. 

What kind of auction will there be?

There will be two types of auctions. There will be a live auction where the item is described by an MC and bidders raise their paddles to indicate their bids. There will also be a silent auction for some of the items where the items are on a table and you write your bid down on a piece of paper next to the item.   

Will the food be available to taste?

No. The food will be wrapped up and must not be opened in the shul. 

Do the food items have any kashrut certification ?

No, the items are baked in the chef's kitchen (unless otherwise stated). So it is up to the bidder to determine what items are acceptable to them. 

Are all food items available to take home that night?

Some items are available that night to take home and some items are "Made to Order". In this case you get a piece of paper describing the item you won and the contact information for the chef. You contact the chef and work out a day that is mutually agreeable for the chef to make the item. 

Will there be any food to eat at the event?

Absolutely! Eli Varon is making a cinnamon roll bar and there will be a spread of fruit as well. 

How do I pay for the items I won?

You can either pay that evening via an online donation or put it on your shul account (if you have a shul account) 

Who can attend?
