Fl urish! P
arents, students, friends, faculty and staff demonstrated the strength of the YOF community at the annual Auction on Saturday, January 14th at Shaare Zion. YOF’s “Flourish” Auction celebrated the Flatbush community joining together to instill in our children the basis of a fine education entwined with the Jewish traditions and values that we hold dear.

A wall of colorful and elegant oversized flowers welcomed everyone into the auction space, and glass bubble chandeliers dangled like giant dewdrops from the ceiling. Guests flocked to the sushi bar and pizza stations
throughout the night, as well as the risotto and pasta stations. The hottest auction items this year were the Peloton bike, the unique jewelry selections, the 75” Smart TV, and the sports packages. Children were kept busy with their own Brain Challenge game show, hosted by Hollyrock Games. The students earned fun prizes, and indulged in their own kids’ buffet. “Flourish” would not have bloomed
without YOF’s generous sponsors. The auction was chaired by Sarah Chalouh and Hana Hasson; Sherry Chemtob co-chaired the gifts committee with Judy Madeb; Decorating and Display Chair Lillie Sasson and Book Designer Bertha Sabbagh set the chic tone for the evening; Moses Torgueman led the sales team. YOF appreciates its devoted crew of volunteers who added to the auction’s success, especially Director of Operations Esther Kizelnik and the entire Executive Office.
