There is a challange facing us today in the Ba'al Tshuva world.  We have put much effort over the last 30 years into helping secular Jews reconnect with their heritage.  Baruch Hashem, today we can see the successful results of all that work. Yet, at the same time, we are beginning to discern  newly arising issues: As time passes, Ba'alei Tshuva struggle to maintain even a fraction of their initial excitement in Judaism, and they struggle even more to impart any enthusiasm to their children.  Adding insult to injury, while mired in the complexities of this struggle, a Ba'al Tshuva is liable to overlook the great contribution he can make to Klal Yisrael by virtue of his unique life experiences and abilities!

We understand that these issues are really the symptom of two deeper problems: a Ba'al Tshuva often lacks self-esteem -- whether as a result of his previous life experiences or his perceived shortcomings in acclimating to his new lifestyle -- and a Ba'al Tshuva often feels that the excitement and emotional intensities from his secular days cannot be matched in the more staid and measured world of mitzva observance. 

Lev Yisrael has found the solution that confronts these deeper problems head-on. The key is to help a Ba'al Tshuva actualize his unique talents and abilities in a Torah context and integrate his past experiences into his new frum lifestyle.  No longer must a Ba'al Tshuva be forced to choose between cutting off his secular past completely so as to fit into the religious ideal, on the one hand, or holding on to aspects of his secular experiences at the expense of properly developing a meaningful Torah lifestyle.  We believe that balance with passion in Torah can be achieved.

With siyata d'shamaya, for almost five years, Lev Yisrael has successfully helped tens of individuals and their families find that balance.

Welcome to Lev Yisrael.
