About Us

Shalom started Collective Kindness almost by accident. After learning about a family that didn’t have meat and potatoes two days before Passover, he sprang into action, raising funds for this family and sending food packages. And he’s never stopped helping since.

Recognizing that financial crisis often sits at the root of family struggles, Shalom became the driving force behind Kosher Debt Help, Collective Kindness’s kosher debt help initiative. Understanding that debt isn’t just a financial burden but an emotional one, he’s committed to helping families find their way to financial freedom with dignity and hope.

Using his network of connections, Shalom solves problems with efficiency and sensitivity, and most importantly, utmost confidentiality. Whether connecting families with emergency resources or guiding them through debt relief strategies, Shalom’s approach is always rooted in compassion and respect.

Shalom lives in Chicago, IL with his wife and two kids.

Leivi lives in New Haven, CT, with his wife and children. Working six days a week in Hartford, he still makes time to be deeply involved in the New Haven community and has a passion for Chesed. When he witnessed his friend Shalom do a crowdfunding campaign, he saw an opportunity to scale impact and change lives systematically.

Leivi became the engine and brains behind Kosher Debt Help, Collective Kindness’s kosher debt help initiative. Recognizing that debt was silently destroying families across the Jewish community, he developed comprehensive strategies and systems to help families navigate their way out of financial crisis. His analytical approach combined with genuine compassion has transformed the way families access debt relief—creating clear pathways from overwhelming debt to financial freedom.

Leivi and Shalom joined forces and are actively working on helping Jewish families in need. Together, they’ve built a movement that addresses not just immediate crises, but the underlying financial challenges that keep families trapped in cycles of stress and struggle.
