Our Mission
The mission of Bais Chana of California Women’s Yeshiva is to bring Chassidus, the deeper dimensions of Torah, its vitality and holiness to all Jewish women, which helps women connect the deepest part of their soul to G-d, and to all Jews. Our classes and events are opportunities to bring women guidance, coaching, role models and inspiration to apply these ideals into every aspect of their lives in a joyous way, to help nurture relationships with their family and community.
The Need is Great
Children can attend day school or yeshiva. Men can attend the daily minyans and classes in the community. But who will be there to educate and support the women in their growth in Judaism?Who will nurture, inspire and guide the women?
This is where Bais Chana comes in . . .
Through classes in Torah, prayer, parenting, marriage, and more the needs of Jewish women are addressed. At Bais Chana women learn the skills they need to perform their important role in the family and the community, and have a support group of other women who share their challenges, as well as access to experienced teachers and mentors who can effectively and compassionately guide them.
The secret of Bais Chana is that by learning Torah with the teachings of Chassidic philosophy Judaism feels alive, exciting, relevant, and enjoyable. After being inspired by the classes they attend, Bais Chana students then communicate these positive attitudes to their husbands, children, and family members. When others see the joy and excitement with which their mother, wife, or sister serves Hashem and feel the warmth she infuses into her mitzvahs, it serves to inspire all of them and create a positive Jewish atmosphere in the home that leads all members of the family to value and cherish their Yiddishkeit.
Today Bais Chana serves hundreds of Jewish women in Los Angeles each year. Classes are taught by leading Rabbis and educators.

Our Vision
Bais Chana’s core mission is to fulfill the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s call to action to get the world ready for a new era and to do so by focusing on the women. The woman is called the akeres habayis, the mainstay of the home, and is the source of nurture, inspiration, and guidance (both physical and spiritual) for all members of the family. As such, her role in ensuring Jewish continuity and building a world in which G-d will be revealed to all mankind is a central one.
