About Us

Bais Chana Women International, a nonprofit organization headquartered in New York City, provides women of all ages with an extraordinary immersion into Jewish life and learning.

Bais Chana’s founding in 1971 was inspired and motivated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s avid support of Jewish education for all women. Since then, Bais Chana has revolutionized education for Jewish women of all ages with little or no formal background in Jewish traditions, winning over thousands with its inclusive, nonjudgmental and intellectually challenging environment. Renowned for compelling study retreats and an exceptional teaching staff, headlined by internationally acclaimed educator Rabbi Manis Friedman, Bais Chana continues to meet women where they are, guiding them through the spiritual and moral dilemmas of the day.

Life goes under the lens of authentic Kabbalah and Chassidic teachings during a full schedule of classes, group study and private tutoring, camaraderie and mentoring, and a really fun hands-on challah baking session. By providing an opportunity for women of all ages to ask their most urgent questions about life, Bais Chana helps participants uncover their Jewish soul.
