At the time that I came to Machon Chana, I left Holland, left a Director’s position in our family business. I knew that if I can make it in Holland, I can make it in the USA.
At present I am married for 25 years to a most wonderful husband, have five great children and three beautiful grandchildren. I am presently managing a holistic health center in a suburb of Toronto, Canada.
Thank you Machon Chana!
Kol HaKavod to you all!!!

Personal reflections from Winter YeshivaCation
Tzivia Jacobson is here to talk about Relationships. Her blonde hair is perfectly styled, her suit is designer, her jewelry and makeup tasteful. We wonder how she got here in those heels on Shabbos. Am I at (a) a Vogue focus group, (b) an evening with a radio talk-show host, or (c) Chabad’s Yeshivacation program?
If you chose Yeshivacation, you’re not only correct, you’re familiar with one of the most unique Jewish learning programs in the world. …Click to continue reading…..
Susan Cohen
Personal Reflections from Machon Chana in the Mountains, Tannersville, NY
When my ancestors settled in Kingston, New York, a small town less than an hour from Machon Chana in the Mountains, little did they imagine how physically close yet spiritually distant their descendant would be a century later. That descendant is me, Susan Cohen of Myrtle Beach, SC. How could it be that the Golden Shores of America would leave me with the eerie sensation that I could be a dying branch on the strong tree of Judaism? Is it too late to keep my branch of the tree alive?…Click to continue reading…..
