The Second Annual BASHMO was a huge success with wonderful people, incredible wines, and a cause that has captivated the hearts of so many. 

We are thrilled to share that there were more than twice as many people who attended the BASHMO this year than last year and that together we raised over $100,000 for the children of Migdal Ohr!

It was amazing to see an entire community show so much love for Israel’s neediest children and to experience everyone’s dedication year after year. In just one year, we were able to generate twice as much enthusiasm and Ahavat Yisrael as when we started. 

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, the children of Migdal Ohr have a wonderful home to call their own. They feel loved and cared for. No matter how challenging their family backgrounds may be, these children know that there are kind and caring people like you looking out for them and ensuring a bright future for them.

Imagine what we can do over the next year and the year after!

Thank you to our gracious hosts Arianne and Moshe Weinberger for opening their home to us, and to our dedicated event chairs for making this evening so special: Dovid and Daniella Katz, Jenna and Sam Goldstein, Elissa and Steven Seltzer, Batya and President Nachman Paul, Erica and Tzvi Solomon.

Congratulations to our lucky raffle winners:

• Half a case of premium wines: Rachel and Akiva Distenfeld
• Premium magnum bottle of wine: Sarah and Josh Katz
• $500 Gift Voucher to Spiced NYC: Elana and Jonah Sobin 

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s BASHMO and helped us to bring more light into the world!
