The Year is Flying By!
May 3, 2012
Wow!! We cannot believe that this is our last month at Sharfman’s! The year has really flown by! Bayit Cham has been such a wonderful part of the year and this past one was no exception. We were, of course, greeted with a hearty delicious Italian dinner of meatballs and spaghetti…..served with fresh Italian bread and salad.
As usual, the conversation was comfortable and homey, all of us enjoying each other’s company. Going along with our Bayit Cham custom, we heard 2 wonderful and inspiring Divrei Torah, courtesy of Chavi Radinsky and Sharon Franko. After we got our fill of Torah, we moved on to get our fill of dessert- Chocolate Chip Icecream Pie! Perfect for a warm Jersualem night! We like to take our time with our meals since we are serious shmoozers in our group. But the night must move on. Anomia anyone? In case you don’t know what Anomia is (no, it’s not a sleep disorder), it’s actually fun, fast-paced, competitive game (perfect for our group!) that involves naming things in different categories. Needless to say, we all had…

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…

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…
