Free-wheeling, honest conversations you won't find anywhere else, with smart, savvy Jewish women - all about purpose, providence and our role in the world.
A dolphin cruise with sparkling wine!
And a wealth of wisdom from the finest Jewish educators around, here to share their bounty.
The Guides on Our Jewish Adventure
Bais Chana’s A-List educators are smart, insightful, funny and ready for adventure.
RABBI MANIS FRIEDMAN is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, educator, author, counselor and YouTube's most popular rabbi.
Friedman will challenge our assumptions about pretty much everything we hold near and dear so hold on for the ride. We'll talk about the journey of the Jewish soul and what to do about antisemitism. The meaning of fate and free will. How to make your most important relationships more loving, and how to live with more dignity and humility - in a world that values neither.
ITTY KAY is a passionate and compassionate teacher of Torah. Jump into the deep end of Jewish learning as Kay cracks open the Chassidic holy books with enthusiasm, peels back layers of superficiality and lets you peek at the world and yourself through the eyes of the Chassidic Masters.
Kay is the force behind Bais Chana's weekly online classes, spending hours answering students questions and clarifying the finer points of each subject. Join her by signing up at www.baischana.org/online.

What's on the Agenda
Three days of provocative Torah learning that goes straight to the heart of life in 2023.
Learn what Judaism says about the Jewish psyche, our loves and fears, how to deal with anxiety, grief and disappointment, and how to live your life with more gratitude and purpose - every single day.
Find out:
How do you get past the toxic superficiality that's all around us, and learn to be more positive?
How do you live a life of purpose? Where do you start?
How do you connect - and stay connected?
How do you take all this home - and make it last?
Check back to get the full agenda.
Who Comes?
Jewish women like yourself - inquisitive, smart and savvy - who want more from life.
Because when Jewish women get together, we get each other, we bond instantly, with no judgment, no matter the differences. You’re going to love that.
Come this winter if you’re discovering (or rediscovering) Judaism and want to go deeper.
If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on a challenging relationship, decision or dilemma.
Or if you’re looking for a mentor or spiritual teacher who gets where you’re coming from.
