Chanukah Fun at Ariella Katz’s House!
December 15, 2009
Guest Post by Ariella Katz, Shana Aleph Chonechet
As I’m sure you know by now, as a Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s Shana Aleph Chonechet, not only do I get to assist people in their academic growth, but being that all of the Chonechet’s live within minutes of the school, we are a seminary that is also able to have a staff that features an open door policy so that we can really get to know each and every girl as a truly unique person. One of the greatest opportunities to really bond together, is at our twice a month Bayit Cham. At Bayit Cham, girls come to the local homes of their Chonechet for anything from an evening entree as well as a great activity. In short, Bayit Cham is really a great time that all of the girls from our four different academic levels, get to spend valuable time in a relaxed home atmosphere…and this past Bayit Cham, was no exception! To get us in the holiday spirit, we started out the evening with Hot Apple Cider that also featured cinnamon and cubes of fresh apples floating in it-which we ladled out into glasses. It was really a gourmet treat!

Annual Chanukah Chagigah 2009!
December 14, 2009
The Annual Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s Chanukah Chagigah lived up to the hype! From start to finish it left everyone in the audience, from students, to visiting Alumnae, to faculty wanting more 
But let’s start from the beginning…The evening kicked off with a beautifully decorated and festive feel. Indeed, when you walked into the Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s Chanukah Chagigah, you were greeted to a color scheme of blue and white balloons, napkins, and table cloths, while the walls were adorned with what seemed like shiny dancing Menorahs and Dreidels. Once the meal was completed it was on to the skits and all things comical at the 2009 Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s Chanukah Chagigah hosted by Shelley Adelson and Becky Glowgower. The hostesses began the evening with a hilarious Question and Answer routine that really got the crowd into a humorous spirit…

Guest Post by Riki Gewirtz, Rakezet
Chanukah is rapidly approaching, and here at Sharfman’s we waste no time starting the Pre-Chanukah Ruach! Right after our inspirational afternoon classes, the girls came to participate in the Annual Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s Chanukah Mini Mall awaiting them. The school brought in many vendors selling the most beautiful things, from headbands and jewelry, to skirts and makeup. Best of all, everything was offered at heavily discounted prices just for us, so that we could purchase things for ourselves or for our friends in time to celebrate Chanukah with a nice new gift In addition, the school provided festive Chanukah music, yummy Sufganiot, and lots of chocolate Chanukah Gelt! Best of all, even if you didn’t come to shop, there were many girls who came to express their Sharfman’s spirit and dance.
