As mailboxes wait expectantly and as the ads appear in newspapers there is a sense of anticipation. The question buzzing in coffee rooms around the world is: Who'ss getting hungry for this year'ss Oorah CD . A sampler of The Shmorg (http://www.oorah.org/auction/2009/cd-video.html) can be viewed on the Oorah site.
Oorah'ss 2009 Shmorg CD, named in reference to a full shmorg at simchas, offers up a menu that would satisfy even the most discerning palates. The Shmorg sampler CD arrives with all the
audio tracks, and a taste of what is available on the full Shmorg. Donors to Oorah will receive the full Gold Edition of The Shmorg, which include an audio and a visual disc.
The audio portion of The Shmorg showcases a refreshing line of artists, some seasoned performers, and some newly discovered. With brand new compositions written especially for Oorah by
the likes of Yehuda Green and Yitzy Waldner, this CD will both entertain and inspire.
The DVD portion of The Shmorg contains something for everyone to watch. Whether a talmid chacham curious about the intricacies of this year'ss Birchas Hachama, a solid Journeys enthusiast
who wants to see another two of Abie Rottenberg'ss classics come to life, an avid fan of the Marvelous Middos Machine puppetry, or a Lipa Schmeltzer fanatic eager to catch up on his
latest antics, everyone is in for a real treat.
We remember its 'sdelicious's predecessors which children - small and not so small - enjoyed many times over: the pseudo-shmurah matzah, and 2008'ss lookalike everything bagel. In an
effort to meet the appetites of everyone everywhere, Oorah has been working around the clock for months, cooking up their fullest CD to date. And now, The Shmorg is about to begins.
As a kiruv organization, Oorah has garnered a unique reputation in the fundraising world for always being on the cutting edge. Their collection of original productions in the second Oorah
Auction (http://www.oorah.org/auction/2009/index.asp) mailing comes not only to entertain, but to remind everyone of the vitally
important mission of our generation - to reach out to the millions of disconnected Jewish souls and help them find their rightful place in Klal Yisrael.
By enrolling children in yeshiva, giving them a meaningful summer at BoyZone (http://www.jewishboyzone.com/) or GirlZone camps, learning Torah
with their parents, helping them learn to observe Shabbos and celebrate Yomim Tovim and so much more, Oorah has taken on the mission. Each Auction dollar helps support these effective,
successful programs, making every donor a vital part of the kiruv journey for the more than 1,800 families Oorah serves.
So grab a plate, pull up a chairand look our for The Shmorg.
