Exclusive Sharfman’s Simchas Beis HaShoeva!!
October 23, 2011
On the last night of Sukkos, we were privileged to be hosted by one of our amazing Mechanchot, Mrs. Fuld! Best of all, when we arrived at her door, she told us that the party was not going to simply be in her house—but in her stunning rooftop Sukkah! To describe her Sukkah would not do it justice. Her Sukkah was soo beautiful and festive—there was even a chandalier in it—and being in her Sukkah really enhanced the setting for our exclusively Sharfman’s Simchas Beis Hashoeva! Plus, who can forget that there was wonderful music and great food. In fact, we were joined by a talented young musician, Meira, who also happens to be an alumnae of our school. She really increased the spiritual energy in the Sukkah as she led us in a beautiful Kumzitz and dancing throughout the evening! Best of all, our teacher, Rabbi Kahane, surprised us by knocking on the door of the Sukkah and giving us a meaningful shiur on the significance of Hoshana Rabbah! We all left with a great feeling of warmth

Sukkos Vacation Bayit Cham!
October 10, 2011
If any word comes to mind right now, it’s simply WOW!!! What an evening!! We just got back from our first incredible Bayit Cham at the home of our Chonechet, Mrs. Rachel Rose! And talk about a royal welcome!-there was no need for a red carpet, as awaiting our arrival was an absolutely delicious French onion soup with scrumptious garlic bread to go with it. Then, as we were all still savoring the super taste in our mouths, out came steaming hot yummy whole-wheat baked ziti, and of course a fresh, seasoned salad to top it off. We know what you’re thinking…now YOU’RE getting hungry!! But wait…the best part was yet to come! Our Chonechet returned from the oven with the most unbelievable mouth-watering molten milk chocolate chip cakes for dessert! This was too good to be true! Those cakes disappeared before we could even say thank you!! At this point in the evening I realized just how much the Faculty here cares about you and it’s really true that: “Sharfman’s is a FAMILY!”
A Surprise Birthday Party & Our Edible Sukkah!
October 9, 2011
We just had our first Bayit Cham at our Chonechet’s house. It was such a blast!! We were greeted with a yummy supper of baked ziti and a fresh veggie platter (with a great dip of course!). All of us really enjoyed having a homecooked dinner! After we were all satiated with food and shmooze, out came a beautiful pink surprise birthday cake for both Joanie Tawil and Renanna Pellman 
The evening continued with us discussing and writing down personal goals for our year in Israel at Bnot Torah/Sharfman’s. We can’t wait to see how much we’ve accomplished when we open our envelopes after Pesach! We then gathered around and had some inspirational time with Charlie Harary and his videos on Yom Kippur and personal growth. We all came away with some powerful messages!
And last, but definitely not least, we ended off with some Sukkos preparations. We broke out the supplies and constructed our very own edible Sukkah! We got to design our Sukkah using tea biscuits
