Machon Chana Institution has been a powerful learning experience for me over this summer 2017 in NYC. Well-structured, intense curriculum with great Rabbis, Rebbetzens, Madrichot and females from all around the world, exciting field trips and weekends away with Jewish families of different communities add great value to one's life perspective. Exploratory journey into my family roots I undertook was thoughtfully guided by Rebbetzen Labkowsky and Rabbi Green, whose personal input largely contributed to major linage discoveries of my grand Shneersons' family heritage.

Machon Chana is a warm loving place that allowed me to develop my deep belief in yiddishkite and it guided me to gently uncover my hidden talents and discover who I am down to my core. This place is so incredible. Mrs. Labkowski is so down to earth and real. The staff are professional, the Rabbis know their material, and the women here are the best of the best. We were all in this together and the bonds that were formed and the friendships created I feel are lifelong. This has been an incredible and life-changing experience.

What I enjoy most about Machon Chana is that every single girl is unique. No matter what background one comes from, there is always something new we can learn on a daily basis. Everyone has such a ma'alah, its really incredible here.

Machon chana is a place where you can ask any question. It is a place where women from all Jewish backgrounds can come together, grow spiritually, and connect to Torah in an authentic way. At this school every every teacher is approachable and every question is valued. This school is unique in thats the Torah learning is infused with chassidus so students are able absorb all they learn in a deep and lasting way.

Machon Chana is an invaluable resource for all Jewish women interested in exploring their Judaism and achieving personal spiritual growth. It is a place where judaism comes alive in a meaningful and powerful way thus enabling women to connect with Hashem-as well as actively embrace their crucial role in the building of a solid Jewish home.
Celia Rothenberg, Business Owner, Rosedale, CA
Machon Chana has been one of the most enlightening experiences in my life. Torah, halachah, history and spirituality are blended in a way that makes complete sense for practical applications. My internal spark burns brighter than ever and my relationship with Hashem has grown immensely. My journey will continue long after leaving. I can’t wait to come back again!
