Just a year after the passing of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, Daniella Golan received the lasting blessing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe himself to open a place of Torah study for women in Israel; and in 1989, Golan officially opened Ohr Chaya, named in blessed memory of the Rebbetzin, which has been a warm and transformative home to thousands of Jewish women ever since.

Located in the golden city of Jerusalem, Ohr Chaya brings the Rebbe’s Torah to life, and inspires women daily. Golan holds her mission from the Rebbe with fervor, closely to her heart.

“Thirty-five years ago, very few orthodox Rabbis were teaching women, and encouraging women in Torah study. The Rebbe was a visionary, a reformer. And Ohr Chaya stands today because of him.”

Today, Ohr Chaya stands as the largest religious center for Jewish women around the world, empowering women from all walks of life. With classes taught in four different languages- Hebrew, English, Russian and Spanish- Ohr Chaya caters to the needs of all women who walk through its doors, who span a wide range of religious and social backgrounds, as well as varying ages.
