These amazing women are part of Sharfman’s and help us complete the most hardest of sources, or to decipher a particular Kli Yakar, and so on and so forth.

Honestly, when we started the Chumash Report, l was afraid of getting just a little bit overwhelmed.

Instead, the opposite has happened!

Why?

Because even when we are learning and in the Beit Midrash, Sharfman’s makes sure that learning and growing is always a FUN experience.

It’s so awesome to hear our voices in unity speaking the beautiful words of Torah. It’s the most amazing feeling to finally put all of our research into our very own Chumash Report Sefer. It is certainly something that I will forever treasure as a memento of my accomplishment and academic growth throughout my year at Sharfman’s. To me, the Chumash Report is not just the about research, it’s about the exploration of our heritage at the deepest textual level…and I’ll get to keep these memories for the rest of my life.

For 7 days we celebrated Bein Adam L'Chaveiro Week in unique Sharfman's style. It started when the school assigned each girl in the school a "Nutty Buddy." In order to show the girls how much there is to gain from an unexpected friendship, Sharfman's matched up girls who really didn't know each other well. Each "Nutty Buddy" was to shower her "Buddy" with small daily presents during the course of the week. The results far exceeded the expectations :-) Girls spent a lot of time finding out about their Buddies so they could find cute inexpesnive gifts which suited the recipient.

For 7 days we celebrated Bein Adam L’Chaveiro Week in unique Sharfman’s style. It started when the school assigned each girl in the school a “Nutty Buddy.” In order to show the girls how much there is to gain from an unexpected friendship, Sharfman’s matched up girls who may not know each other soo well. Each “Nutty Buddy” was to shower her “Buddy” with small cute and daily presents during the course of the week.

The results far exceeded the expectations :-)

Girls spent a lot of time finding out about their Buddies so they could find cute inexpesnive gifts which suited the recipient. In the process, they discovered how distinctive each individual girl is. Gifts ranged from a jump rope for a Buddy who is into physical fitness, to a set of colored pens to an artist, to personalized drawings, plaques, magnets, key chains and, of course, lots of nosh. Finally, the time came for the “Nutty Buddies” to reveal themselves to their “Buddies!” The Bnot Torah Beit Midrash went wild as our Mechanechet, Mrs. Fuld served as the Master of Ceremonies as we all found out who it was that had made the effort to find out about them and give them such suitable gifts.

Each Buddy now had the chance to give her Nutty Buddy a gift of thanks and appreciation for her efforts. All in all, from the smiles on the girls faces you can tell that not only were new friendships started, but the school was successful in giving us new meaning to the idea of Bein Adam L’Chaveiro.

We love our Mechanechet, our Chonechet, our Rakezet, our Aim Bayit.

After all, we can learn from our teachers in our warm classroom setting and even in their local homes! However, in addition to being able to really explore at a Hashkafic and Academic level various topic throughout Judaism, one of my goals for the year before going off to college, was to really feel confident in speaking and knowing Hebrew.

Here’s some pictures of some recent advertisements that we created for the class. This assignment allowed us to bond with one another as well as display our artistic and graphical perspective. Plus, we got to understand the Hebrew language through marketing and advertising. Best of all, we hung our finished products in our classroom and are able to show all of our friends and classmates just how well we are learning Hebrew!
