Collective Kindness assists Jewish families from all backgrounds to get back on their feet by achieving long-term emotional and financial stability, through CK and a growing family of specialized programs.
We provide a “hand-up”, empowering families to take charge of their own lives and futures. Our professional staff are uniquely positioned to work closely with each family to find solutions tailored to their needs.

The hardest financial struggles in the Jewish community are the quiet ones. The growing debt in private. The late mortgage payment(s). The family that looks fine from the outside, except they aren't. These are the families in the messy middle, and they're the ones we built Collective Kindness for.

Each program is uniquely designed for different needs and experiences.
Collective Kindness involves intensive services for Jewish families ready to get back on their feet and take their lives into their own hands. It works where four things are true. If you mostly just need debt help, Kosher Debt Help is the better front door.
Kosher Money host Eli Langer sits down with philanthropist Dovid Lichtenstein to unpack what Collective Kindness is actually doing, and why a “hand-up” beats a handout, every time.
Quiet, professional help for Jewish families in financial trouble. A hand-up, not a handout. It started, of all places, on a WhatsApp status.
Our story →Our partners
When a family applies, they don’t get a case worker. They get a team of professionals who partner with the household across four phases until the math, the calls, and the calendar all line up again.
Before any plan, a confidential conversation. The whole picture, in your words.
Creditors, cash flow, the calls you’ve been putting off. We step in where it’s bleeding.
Tax, tuition, budget. We find every dollar, then put each one to work.
Savings, planning, stability. Built so a family doesn’t end up back here.
A dedicated case manager and a vetted team of specialists, working with you across every phase. All confidential.

Every dollar funds case management, coaching, and the long quiet work of helping a family stand on its own. Designate your tzedakah to a specific program, or trust us to put it where it's needed most.
