Welcome to Congregation Or Ami's FIRST EVER Online Auction!
. . . . . OR AMI's BAR MITZVAH YEAR. . . . . .
For our 13th (Bar Mitzvah) year in business, Or Ami is honoring itself at this year's Gala and Auction. We will have a grand celebration to commemorate the important and wonderful work we do for our members and the community at large. Like any of our family life cycle events we will enjoy a special Shabbat service, a grand party and celebration (Sat night) and a Sunday family event to close our Bar Mitzvah weekend.
And for the first time ever you can participate online if you are unable to attend any or all of the celebrations. You can also bid for items online that will continue being available at the Live events. If you are unable to continue bidding, we will assign a proxy bidder to ensure you get the same chance as attendees to secure the items you want at our Live event.
CHECK IT OUT...browse this evening and come back often. We will be open until Tuesday March 2nd at 11:59pm.
Or Ami has a history of FIRSTS and now we get to experience another new first for our holy community. For the first time our auction in conjunction with our annual celebratory gala is available from the comfort of your living room! Although there are a few items reserved for the live events only, most of them can be bid upon online and some even have Buy it Now prices ensuring that you can be the winner of the item while supporting Or Ami’s programs and good deeds.
Browse now through our auction catalogue. No longer do you have to decide what you will bid on in a two-hour space of time. The catalogue includes items reserved for the two live events as well as those you can bid on and win without even attending our celebration. At 6pm Sunday, February 21st the auction will open and it will remain open until Tuesday March 2nd at 11:59pm. For almost ten days you can make Or Ami’s online auction your daily habit—check in and see the progress of your bids and read about all the great items and packages available from our sponsors and donors.
This year’s collection is the best ever. There are dining certificates, entertainment events, beautiful items for your home and office, health and beauty services, unique experiences and travel opportunities. Our consigned items include almost a dozen “Auction Boosters”. These items were made available by the company providing our auction technology. The minimum bid covers our cost and the value is well in excess of that number. Perhaps you’d like to take your daughter shopping in New York for a special birthday or maybe golfing on courses that were formally part of the British Open—among the top 50 courses in the World—is your “thing”. All of this and more will be available to you online.
Note the Dynamic categories at the top of our left panel:
FEATURED ITEMS - These are items we determined to be of special interest. They are either unique experiences that you can simply not reproduce on your own, or items of particularly high value.
NEW ITEMS - Those items posted in the last 3 days. Check back on our site often as items will be added every day during the auction period.
HOT ITEMS - Those with the most bidding activity. These are the ones to watch - especially if one of them is of interest to you!
GREAT DEALS - These are the items that have the largest gap between value and minimum or current bid. Check these out to get your greatest value from the bidding experience.
ONLINE ONLY - Those items we do not plan to bring to one of our Live events. Bidding will close on these items when the online auction closes on March 2nd (11:59pm).
LIVE ONLY - These items are available here for preview only. We have to give our attendees SOME advantage after all... Some Kids/Family items have been reserved for our Sunday event. This is a sub-category of the LIVE ONLY group that includes items of particular interest to our younger families.
