Rabbi Chaim Helman
Executive Director
Rabbi Chaim Helman is a native Clevelander and a well-known friend of the community. In 2004, Chaim joined the Beachwood-University Heights Community Kollel, where he gave classes and volunteered his time to mentor teens in local Jewish day schools. He was hired by the Jewish Family Experience to be the Director of Teen Programming which he developed and led for several years. His weekly “Cholent and Parsha” JFX class is still a favorite for many of his closest adult and teen students who come for his weekly wisdom and wit. Most recently, Rabbi Helman co-directed the Yeshiva High School, motivating students in their Torah learning and preparing them for post-high school yeshivos and future life experiences.
At the end of 2013, community leaders approached Rabbi Helman and described the need for a mental health referral service for the Cleveland Jewish community. Under the guidance of several community activists, Rabbi Helman spearheaded the initiative with determination and drive – and Naaleh was born in 2014. In his capacity as Director of Naaleh, Rabbi Helman has built relationships and gained the confidence of many mental health professionals, Rabbis and community leaders in the Cleveland area.
