Torat Yisrael’s Dueling Artists: Everyone won!

Saul KrasnyTorat Yisrael raised a record amount at the congregation’s first major fundraising event in their new East Greenwich building.  Some 130 people gathered in Temple Torat Yisrael’s social hall on March 8 for a unique evening of creativity, good food and community support. 

The center of the room was set up with three easels and two tables with child-size wooden Adirondack chairs. As guests sipped wine and the evening’s signature “Artini” cocktail, five local artists created floral still-lifes, an iconic Rhode Island landscape scene and two charming children’s chairs.

Channel 10’s Barbara Morse Silva conducted a live and lively auction for the artwork and a few selected items, including a reserved parking space by the door for the High Holidays.
