Dear Parents,

Bais Chana Teen CampsBais Chana Women International has been creating retreats for Jewish teenage girls since 1991. Since that time, thousands of teenage girls from the most diverse backgrounds imaginable and from all over the world, have attended. Much more than the sum of its parts, Bais Chana’s vacations for teens are one of the richest Jewish events offered for Jewish teenage girls today.

Every year, this extraordinary opportunity is offered in three locations, bringing the experience that much closer to teen girls all over the country. Each retreat includes learning with acclaimed educator Rabbi Manis Friedman, guest lecturers, creative workshops, outdoor trips, and more. 

Bais Chana is a potent exposure to Judaism’s most profound teachings, presented in an open-forum, non-judgmental and fun environment. Classes and workshops are intellectually stimulating and immediately relevant. We assure you that we take every question seriously – and your daughter’s personal growth and development are as important to us as they are to you.

Having spent over 15 years with young women like your daughter we’ve developed an unmatched expertise in the spiritual and moral development of Jewish teen girls, and we’re here to share it. 

Feel free to call us at 718.604.0088 for more about upcoming sessions, financial assistance or information about scholarships.

Respectfully,

Hinda Leah Sharfstein, Director
