We just returned from the best time at Chaya Fish’s house! One of the great things about it is that she lives literally minutes away from Sharfman’s! Anyways, when we arrived we were greeted with an overwhelming sense of Chanukah! The smell of latkes frying and the colorful decorations were more than enough to get us into the fun holiday spirit. We sat down at a table decorated with Chanukah themed napkins and plates with chocolate gelt scattered on the table. Festive Chanukah music played in the background and we played with the dreidle at the table. Then we went into the kitchen and started frying our own latkes!! Chaya also served us a tasty holiday Dinner which included: French Onion Soup, as well as latkes with applesauce. After we were all full…

Annual Sharfman’s Chanukah Chagigah 2011!
December 21, 2011
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 with the walls and windows adorned with Chanukah decorations and it really helped enhance the overall energy! Once we were all seated, we enjoyed a delicious meal that featured a healthy Pumpkin Soup, Stir Fry Chicken served over a bed of rice, as well as a large tossed salad, fresh toasted Garlic Bread, and a tasty frozen dessert!
However, the best part of the meal was when Rabbi Sharfman treated us to inspiring words of Torah in which he reminded us about the true importance and everlasting meaning of Chanukah.
Once the meal was completed it was on to the skits and all things comical at the 2011 Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s Chanukah Chagigah hosted by Sharon Franko and Ilana Yarmak who both hail from California!

Chanukah Dinner & Fun at our Chonechet’s House!
December 15, 2011
Chanuka came early this year at the local home of our Chonechet, Ricki Leybovich. Coming in from the cold Jerusalem night, we were greeted with steaming hot bowls of delicious onion soup. Plus, we were able to choose our own toppings ranging from melted cheese and croutons! What’s more, Ricki also served us homemade warm garlic bread!! We could not have asked for a cozier meal. After we were all warm and satiated, we decided it was time to move on and make our dessert.
You see, Ricki surprised us by telling us that at this Bayit Cham evening at her house, we were going to get into the Chanukah spirit and make Chanuka themed cookies! YUM! Armed with a big ball of sugar cookie dough and many different cookie cutters, we got to work creating and decorating. We really got to check out everyone’s creative side! While we waited for our cookies to bake, out came BLANK wooden draidels….hmmmm….cookie decorating? Yes! But Draidel decorating? Well, with the help of different color permanent markers, we were able to highlight our artistic…
