What couples are saying about Bais Chana's retreats ... Bais Chana was both an inspiring and profound experience on the two occasions I attended. An intense time in terms of learning and personal growth and certainly some big steps taken when I returned home. It was a warm environment where no one was judged and you could pick and choose what you wanted to learn or be involved with. For me, I needed that and I'm sure that's what made me take things seriously. The brilliance and animation of Rabbi Manis Friedman was to put it mildly, awe-inspiring -- my husband and I, six months after learning with him, still frequently refer to his teachings. Thank you to everyone at Bais Chana! Atalia, Summer 2000, London, England ....................................................................................................... My wife and I had the pleasure and honor of spending a week with one of the great philosophers, teachers and spiritual leaders of our time…We concluded the week with a far deeper appreciation and understanding of many areas of Torah study we formerly felt were out of reach. We highly recommend for anyone interested in increasing their appreciation and knowledge of a very broad range of Jewish topics and to be able to apply these lofty concepts to all areas of everyday life to spend a most enjoyable and uplifting week with Rabbi Manis Friedman. Moshe, Chicago, IL ....................................................................................................... It was a mind, body and soul workout, after which we felt rejuvenated and recharged. Mila and Alan, Minneapolis, MN ....................................................................................................... Fantastic! Rabbi Friedman and company’s insights into marriage and parenting have permanently enriched my family. I’ll be back! Nancy King, New Jersey ....................................................................................................... When I looked at the flyer the first thing that grabbed me was the title, “Match Made In Heaven.” Then there was the location, an inn on a lake in Minnesota the beginning of the summer. And finally I was impressed to learn that the director for this week-long Bais Chana program for couples would be Rabbi Manis Friedman. It sounded too idyllic to pass up: fresh air, beautiful country and the presence of a man reputed to be an extraordinary teacher. What did I ultimately experience in those seven days? I reconnected with my husband, with my heritage and most of all, with myself. It was a tune-up for the soul. And what about my husband who had been reluctant to go on a trip that didn’t include museums and other cultural diversions? By week’s end he was enthusiastically proclaiming this the “best vacation” he every had. Helen Schwimmer, Brooklyn, NY ....................................................................................................... Leah, London Winter 2007 – Key Largo, FL The program is really well-rounded and appeals to all levels – I brought my parents to spend time with my kids and they loved the retreat. It was a great way to learn and to recharge. ...................................... Yosef, Ottowa Winter 2007 – Key Largo, FL This is a wonderful gift for grandparents to give to their newly married grandchildren. The three most important things I learned over the weekend are respect, respect and respect. .................................... Amy, Miami Beach Winter 2007 – Key Largo, FL The food was really good, plentiful and healthy. The hotel was stunning and really comfortable. I liked how people kept coming over to us, introducing themselves… everyone was so open. |
