Anyone have any idea what it would take to open a kimpiturin

Can I suggest someone make a womens retreat in one of the kosher hotels? It can even be a regular hotel. Make a program for 2-3 days to allow the women to truly relax and get back to themselves. I think that's in great demand right after yamim tovim.

The Raleigh Hotel used to do this, and they stopped because there wasn't enough demand. The first few years it was popular, and then demand declined.

Just for nostalgia's sake...

I'm in Israel and local councils do operate subsidised 2-3 day retreats for women, usually twice a year. I never went because it all felt a bit too summer camp for me, but I know lots of others who really felt recharged afterwards. Come to think of it,
I don't remember seeing any advertised lately. That could be because of the war, or perhaps demand has declined as well.

Op you mentioned making one closer to Bp. There used to be a kimpeterin heim in coney island seagate. Maybe find out what happened, if you can use/revive that place? Would def be more local for ppl in Brooklyn Smile

Some women go to Uman for Frum female company

Is the Bais Raizel in Antwerp close as I heard?

There is a kosher hotel with a kid club with late hours in the Alps it's great for couples

It’s costly… and lots of legal stuff your dealing with postpartum women and newborns…

I’d imagine speaking to a nursing home about it, it sounds similar needing nurses a Dr on call, staff etc..

Ladies, you can make your own 24 hour getaway. Book a local hotel, Buy yourself a nice takeout dinner,buy some nice things for brunch to Put in the hotel fridge. Go swimming, sleep, relax, be alone in quiet for many hours.
I've done this many times. You dont need a specific place to make his happen!

First of all, hotel pools are often empty. I wear a swim dress and am fully tznius.

It would be the same if there was a frum place to go. Your husband needs to be on board. But if it's something that you feel you really need, then he will take you more seriously. Take off a day of work, and have him take off for the parts of the day that you don't have childcare options.
It is Soo helpful for your mental health and can be so helpful in avoiding burn out! Do not feel guilty!
The stronger you are, the better person, mother and wife you can be for all those who need you!
You are a person too and deserve to be happy and not feel like a burnout shmatta..

I don't think there is enough of a demand to keep a buisness running and full if its not for Kimpeturins fulltime.

Its to expensive and frum people are cheap - when the see a high price the balk and look for more budget friendly options. Even the uber wealthy - they may as well rent a really nice villa in florida with a private pool and spa and go out to eat or have a chef.

For the middle class, people are to tight to pay what it would cost if it would be profitable, as much as many of us would love such a thing, if you can go to a regular hotel in florida, eat out and maybe rent a private spa for a day, or just go to the beach, or swim in a tznuis bathing suit in the usually empty pools, thats what you are going to pick, if its a quarter of the price.

Even when they tried doing kosher hotels like the Altair, they cant have it full year round with only frum people, they get other bookings.

Especially in this economy.

1. As an addition to an existing Kimpeturin home never worked because nobody is comfortable sitting around, laughing, having fun with lots of vulnerable, weak Kimpeturins under the same roof. It just doesn’t work together.
2. Raleigh is way too far and time wasting. Besides, many Brooklyn women don’t drive and getting up there is way too expensive.

3. Booking a random hotel and ordering food is a complete different experience! Come on!

I think a place for women’s retreat would be prohibitively expensive - kimpeturim place is a lot but people make it work bc they just had a baby:

And they're heavily subsidised. Or in the case of one in the UK, completely free, which won't be case for a woman's retreat.
When I was there after birth, we were calculating how much each day would really cost, the room, meals, 24/7 tea room, night nurse...we got lost half way thru.
