Thank You From Yeshiva Derech Hatorah; “Picture This” Chinese Auction Photos

Leave a Comment

The Yeshiva Derech Hatorah Chinese auction, Picture This, was, once again, a highlight of the year and an enjoyable event. Upon entering the social hall of Young Israel of Beachwood, one could not help but be swept up into the beautiful ambiance of the art gallery! Each magnificent detail was completely in sync with the theme. The excitement mounted as the evening progressed and the winners were picked.

YDT thanks all of our wonderful parents, staff, and students who devoted hours upon hours of their time coordinating the event. Without each and every one of you it would not have been possible. A special thank you to all of the dedicated volunteers who spearheaded the evening, ensuring the success of the auction.

Looking forward to seeing you at next year’s auction!
