2 Day Eilat Tiyul: Sun & Fun…Sharfman’s Style!
March 14, 2012
In Sharfman’s, some of the greatest Adar happenings are not simply our Annual Purim Chagigah or inspirational activites and classes. It is also the time in which (for many of us) after completing our Chumash Paper, we go down to Eilat for not 1 day but 2 days to enjoy the peaceful ocean breeze as well as the truly marvelous vistas.

I can’t go into all of the details of this special and exciting Purim that we all shared together in Sharfman’s…it was one of those things that you just had to be there for

Still, what was fantastic about this Purim, wasn’t just getting to be in Eretz Yisrael, but it was also the Sharfman’s Purim Chagigah. Our Chagigah began with a Masquerade Ball and plenty of music and lively dancing:) Each apartment had chosen their own theme for their costumes. Following the dancing…

This past Bayit cham we wanted to get into the adar spirit…So, what could be better than making hamantashen?!?! Each of us got our own piece of dough so we could make our very own hamantashen. There were so many different kinds to choose from…cherry, blueberry, apricot and of course chocolate!! Some of us even got-creative and decorated our hamantashen with colored and chocolate sprinkles. We all enjoyed rolling out the dough and shaping our creations!! While the hamantashen were baking, Devorah announced that we were having a beauty pageant!!
