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. We were accompanied by  our Madricha, Yehudis Jacobowitz!! We experienced the Timna Valley Sand Slide, a breathtaking hike through Solomon’s Pillars, and then we got to take a break for lunch...

We were accompanied by our Madricha, Yehudis Jacobowitz!! We experienced the Timna Valley Sand Slide, a breathtaking hike through Solomon’s Pillars, and then we got to take a break for lunch while overlooking the glorious Timna Lake. Plus, we ALL got to board a private yacht chartered just for all of us Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s students :-) What’s more, we were able to choose various water sports, including Parasailing and Banana Boating as well as relax by going swimming and sunbathing at the Separate Beach!

Arguably most fascinating was being able to hang out with all of our friends and observe the magnificent sea life and corals at the Underwater Observatory and Oceanarium. Anyways, we are really in Purim Mode here so I encourage you to check out all the pictures below…it was truly an AWESOME tiyul!!

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.
