Kol Ami Goes Hi-Tech
For Silent Auction
Temple Kol Ami had a problem — a
good problem. The West Bloomfield
synagogue received some significant
donations for the silent auction at its
upcoming Aces Chai fundraising event
at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 28, but the
small congregation can only host a
limited number of people.
Offered will be three different litho-
graphs by Moshe Castel, one of Israel’s
most famous and renowned artists,
as well as a VIP wine tour for six at
Chateau Chantal in Traverse City, a
set of two signed Andre Renoux prints
and book with matching edition num-
ber, jewelry from Tapper’s, a fabulous
one-week time share in Boca Grande,
Fla., a Detroit Red Wings memorabilia
package and many more high-end
items.
“I was stunned by some of the
things that have been donated to us,”
said TKA Immediate Past President
Paul Gross. “ Clearly, there had to be a
way to enable the greater community
to participate.”
Enter Click Bid Online. Kol Ami
will become the first area synagogue
to use the mobile-friendly website for
its April 28 silent auction. Anybody in
the community, whether at the event
or not, can bid. All bidding is done
online, and bids will update continu-
ously on phones.
To sign up, go to http://tka.cbo.io/
and click on the “Register to Bid” but-
ton, or text tka to 56651 for a link to
register.
Once registered and logged in,
bidders can use the search bar, click
MENU for categories and filters or
just browse items. They can then view
photos and read details, mark their
favorites and start entering bids. Text
messages appear when participants
are outbid. Bidders can set a max bid,
and the system will automatically raise
the bid accordingly.
When the auction closes, bidders
can check the site to see what they
won, and winning bidders will be able
to pay from their phones. Bidders
need not be present to win an auction
item but must arrange with Kol Ami to
pick up the item within seven days. To
attend the event, go to tkolami.org. •

(Shed 5) in Detroit. Regularly attended
by 500 guests each year, ranging in age
from 25-65+, the event is a celebra-
tion of Detroit, art and culture, while
promoting ORT’s mission of educating
for life.
A silent auction will feature one-of-
a-kind art designed by emerging and
nationally recognized Detroit artists,
who are hand-selected and sponsored
by local art collectors. The event also
includes a raffle. A strolling dinner will
be served via food trucks in addition
to passed hors d’oeuvres, dessert and
an open bar with signature cocktails.
Stephanie Freedman, Deborah
Rosenthal and Julie Rothstein are

Proceeds from this year’s event will

meaningful employment and achieve
economic self-sufficiency.
