Here is what mothers and girls are saying...
“Chana Luba did a wonderful job presenting this delicate and important subject to my daughter's class. In a direct and modest way, she explained to the girls how their bodies are preparing for womanhood. It was all done through the beautiful outlook and Torah perspective. She encouraged discussion at home and open communication. Thank you for a job well done.”
