History

Over Thirty Years of History and Success

Founded in 1977 by Rabbi Label Sharfman, Bnot Torah Institute—more popularly known as Sharfman’s—is celebrating its 30th year of successfully educating young, intelligent, Orthodox Jewish women. Recognized for offering the most dynamic seminary experience available anywhere in the Jewish world, Bnot Torah boasts over 1,500 alumni, including accomplished lawyers, authors, social workers, accountants, doctors, nurses, educators, kiruv workers, speech, occupational and physical therapists, wives and mothers. Ultimately, wherever a student winds up in life, our graduates do not find Judaism as one big blur. Rather, our alumni remain committed to making Judaism the center of their lives.
