Bais Chana Women Int'l

Bais Chana Women Int'l Jewish learning retreats (and online) for Teens, Single Moms, College Students, and Women of All Ages

Bais Chana has been in the forefront of Jewish women’s education since its founding in 1971. Inspired by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his avid support of education for all Jewish women, Rabbi Moshe Feller, Mindy Feller, and Rabbi Manis Friedman opened the doors of Bais Chana in its first home in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, as a place where women with little or no formal Jewish education could rediscover their heritage. Thirsty for knowledge and sense of community, women came and Bais Chana’s popularity quickly grew. Since that time, many thousands have passed through our doors from nearly every country in the world to attend our extraordinary educational retreats all over the US. Today as then, our warm, inclusive atmosphere and exceptional teaching staff continue to win the hearts and minds of teenage girls, stay-at-home moms and career women, students and grandmothers. And the friendships made at Bais Chana help girls and women bring the inspiration home.

Rosh Hashana is now over now what?
We have Yom Kippur around the corner.
The season of “Change” and reflection is upon us. The 10 days in between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur - the Holiest day of the year - is called the 10 days of repentance not change. Here is why ⬆️.

“In the shtetl of Lubavitch, on the Shabbat preceding the month of Elul, though summer still lingered
and the day was bright and sunny, there was a change in the air; one already smelled the Elul scent, a teshuvah wind was blowing.”

-The Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson

Another summer is slipping through our fingers
Warm time spent close to the surface
To the stars
To the sun
It’s always hard to say goodbye

Elul is heartache and forgiveness
Beginnings disguised as endings
Rust and fire and open windows
Short days and long shadows
Heaven and earth and all the complex,
wonderful space between
The ritual of everything bright dying beautifully

Caress these cool winds
These golden edges
Stare up at the painted skies
Return to the divine, eternal, pure place inside
And decide
What do you want from your year?
From your life?

More presence.
More courage.
More clarity.
More connection.
More joy.
More honesty.
More trust.
More meaning.

More light.
More G-d.
