A Sweet Success – Chai’s Rosh Hashanah Gift Sale raises over £51,000!

On Thursday 26th September, not even the torrential rain could deter over 900 dedicated supporters from coming to Chai’s flagship centre in Hendon, which pulsated with energy and excitement during Chai’s Rosh Hashanah Gift Sale. This year’s event was more spectacular than ever, featuring 15 brand new stalls. 48 vendors offered an eclectic mix of beautiful clothes, jewellery, homeware, Judaica, flowers, chic millinery and a huge variety of other fabulous gifts.   

The energy remained high as Ben Tenenblat kept everyone fuelled throughout the day with an enticing all day brunch menu while Oh Brown Bear kept caffeine levels high with delicious hot and iced coffee.

The event also marked the London launch of the stunning new cookbook, ‘How Can I Help You?’ by Chai nutritional therapist, Susan Fruhman. So much more than a collection of recipes, this is an essential step-by-step guide to wellness and nutritional healing donates 100% of its proceeds come to Chai.

Event Committee Co-Chairs, Debra Zender and Julia Abrams, said: “We are absolutely blown away by the incredible turnout this year, especially with the enthusiastic support from a younger crowd. Chai’s Rosh Hashanah Sale has truly reached new heights, raising over £51,000. This outstanding amount will make a significant impact, helping to sustain Chai’s vital work.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our generous and loyal sponsors: Roundtree Real Estates, Tony Page for graciously donating 300 of his delicious honey cakes and all the stallholders who contributed a portion of their sales. The tremendous support from the community truly made the event such a resounding success and we are so thankful.”

Chai’s chairman Louise Hager said: “The Gift Sale is consistently one of the standout events in our calendar. It’s not only a crucial fundraising opportunity but also a wonderful chance for many to visit Chai for the first time and immerse themselves in the unique atmosphere that positively impacts everyone who benefits from our specialised services.”
