A single story that sparked everything.

I’m Moish Noble, and it might be surprising that founding Lev Shalom wasn’t planned.

There was no ribbon-cutting ceremony. No grand opening. No kickoff event.

It started with a friend. A friend who opened up by sharing the harsh realities of his mental health struggles. The details were heartbreaking, and I knew I couldn’t just ignore his predicament. So, I decided to take action. Funds were raised. Therapy was paid for. And the results? They were everything.

Witnessing the tangible shift in my friend’s life confirmed what I had long known- accessible mental health resources are essential. This firsthand encounter became the organization’s cornerstone—a commitment to extending the same life-changing support to others.

The double burden of mental illness.

When a physical ailment strikes, our community shines. Rides. Meals. Gifts. But for mental health-related illnesses, silence often replaces support. Judgment eclipses compassion.

The invisible nature of mental illness can lead to dangerous assumptions:

It's a matter of willpower

It's something people can just 'snap out of'

It's a personal failing (not a medical challenge)

Those battling mental health struggles face a twofold challenge: the illness itself and the stigma that isolates them. Fearing judgment, they often hesitate to seek help and suffer in silence.

Lev Shalom fills this vital gap Whether it’s assisting with funds, advocating for patients who are hospitalized in psychiatric facilities, or just giving heartfelt chizuk, we’re here in the ways we’re needed most.

The Lev Shalom Leadership

Rabbinical Board Rabbi Dovid Bartfeld | Rabbi Yaakov Bender | Rabbi Yehuda Leib Riedel | Rabbi Chaim Schabes | Rabbi Eliezer Sherwinter

Rabbi Chaim Schabes Posek & Rav of Knesses Yisrael.

“ I know Reb Moish for a while now. I’ve seen his dedication. And I know that it’s paired with a clear vision of how to maximize the process of therapy while keeping expenses to a minimum. He works in close collaboration with a board of rabbanim, and I am witness to the families he has helped save.”

At the heart of Lev Shalom

Empathy

We believe in listening with empathy and without judgment. This foundation of trust guides and supports our clients on their journey.

Confidentiality

We prioritize the confidentiality of all information that is shared with us. The privacy of every client is important to us, and we safeguard their trust.

Accessibility

We believe mental health services should be accessible to all. We subsidize 50% of the therapy bill, for up to 26 sessions for eligible applicants.

We were at a crossroads in our relationship, and we were really struggling. Therapy provided a lifeline, but when our insurance changed, the cost became unbearable. Lev Shalom stepped in, allowing us to stay with our therapist and continue the crucial work that has strengthened our bond beyond measure”
