Rabbi Sharfman acted as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening and through his jokes he really added a great amount of warmth and humor to the event! Anyways, it was a great time to really introduce and meet all the Shana Aleph and Shana Bet girls from different cities who are in Sharfman's. It was great to hear all about who they are and how much we share common goals for the year. There are girls from Los Angeles to Toronto and from Cleveland to New York and I really can see myself being friends with a lot of them. Throughout the evening, I quickly felt a connection with my apartment-mates and fellow students when we all got to open up and share who we were, where we came from, and also play the interactive game "Getting to Know You Bingo," where we all go around the room searching for clues about one another!

What a whirlwind day it has been. We said goodbye to our friends and family back home and boarded the group flight heading towards Israel. On the plane we all got to bond and meet. It was great to see that soo many people were like me and were motivated to spend this year growing. After what felt like forever, we landed and not one of us lost a bag! As we came out we were greeted by soo many people from Rabbi Sharfman and Mrs. Sharfman to Rabbi Green, Mrs. Haymann, and our new Rakezet Ms. Esther Benayon! I quickly felt at home—they even knew all of our names. Plus, after sitting on the plane and then feeling the warm Tel Aviv heat, the only thing I could want was a drink of water. The next thing I knew, there was Rabbi Sharfman and Rabbi Green handing out water bottles with a cute Sharfman's label on it that welcomed us to the school. Once everyone had come out, we headed out to the bus that would bring us to school. The bus ride was nice! We all got to meet girls from other places who were just like us. When we got to school, we met our Aim Bayit's who took us to our apartments. Anyways, later tonight we are off to The Kotel and then... Click “Read More” to read the full description and see all of the pictures!]]> Wow! What a whirlwind day it has been.
