Review for Bais Chana Women International Inc, Brooklyn, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I can think of so many ways to begin this. Some of these ways include Bais Chana is an amazing experience, or Bais Chana is an incredible program, or Bais Chana has really changed the way I look at life. I should probably pick one of these and go on to write the rest of this review. However, the more I ponder and think about what exactly Bais Chana has done for me, the more I realize that none of those beginning sentences would really be correct. Bais Chana isn’t an amazing or incredible experience; it is so much more than that. Bais Chana hasn’t just changed the way I look at life; it has changed my life itself. Bais Chana is my life, or at least a major part of it.

Where do you find a group of teenage girls who stay up late at night learning Torah? Or sitting around talking with the counselors and other campers about different Mitzvos? Where do you find a group of girls who are so eager to know and to learn? Where do you find an environment in which they are able to do so? The answer to all of these is at Bais Chana.

I loved Bais Chana. Loved it. But it wasn’t only that I loved it, I needed it as well. My soul needed it. I had spent so many years of my life just…confused and wanting to understand things that I couldn’t wrap my head around. For so many years of my life, my soul was hurting. It was crying out for the truth. Then, I went to Bais Chana, and questions that had been on my mind for years suddenly got cleared up. Bais Chana gave me answers, and it also gave me the willpower to continue searching. Bais Chana is the kind of experience that you spend the rest of your life living and growing from. Friends made there are friends forever and things learned there remain with you forever. Bais Chana changes lives. While doctors and surgeons revive people physically, Bais Chana revives people spiritually. And this is definitely just as important.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I think the main thing Bais Chana has done for me is that it gave my life some sort of direction. It made me more aware of where my boundaries are, and it made me appreciate them because for the first time ever, I felt like they were my boundaries. They weren't just things I had to do because my parents said so, they became things that I wanted to do.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

The only thing I can think of is that it may need more money. It's already such an awesome place, now imagine all that and more.
