A place to heal.A community to grow.A future to build.
In Yerushalayim, Lev Eliyahu gives Jewish young adults the stability, relationships and professional support that building an independent life actually requires.

Getting through a crisis is not the same as building a life.
Many young Jewish adults have already taken difficult steps toward change and healing. The harder question is what happens next.
Healing does not hold because of one intervention. It holds because someone has enough around them to keep moving.
- Stability
- Relationships
- Community
- Guidance
- Professional support
- Torah
- Work
- A home
Lev Eliyahu provides that next step — and keeps providing it long after the emergency is over.
One relationship carries all of it.
A bed, a job, a therapist, a mentor and a Shabbos table are not five separate searches here. They arrive together, and they stay.

Giving Heart
When someone discovers that they can make a difference in another person's life, it can transform the way they see their own.
From receivingto giving
Young adults give to the wider community — and discover, often for the first time in years, that they are contributors.
Sober Trips & Growth Retreats
Days on the road, away from phones and substances — distance, nature, and the kind of conversation that only happens far from the city.
Therapeutic Ranch Program
Horses, open landscape and space to breathe — hours spent outside the pressure of the city, with an animal that responds to how you show up.
Voices from Lev Eliyahu
In their words
Every girl is truly cared for. From our classes to weekly one-on-one sessions that help guide us in life and move forward. The staff truly believe in us and never give up on us, even when we doubt ourselves. They help us grow, heal, and discover our potential.

This program gave me a safe place to grow, without judgment or doubt. I was supported as I figured out who I am and what I want, while being trusted to make my own decisions. Along the way, I found lifelong friends and mentors who genuinely care. — Miriam N., The Lighthouse
The house is a place where I can come home to every night, with supportive staff and classes, where we take responsibility for ourselves. We get to live together in an environment where everyone is looking to grow and be the best version of themselves. It's a place I can call home. — Shaindy K., The Lighthouse
Fund the years, not just the emergency.
Donor funding is what keeps the homes open, meals on tables, therapy accessible, staff available, trips possible, mentorship ongoing and the programming running — month after month, not once.
