Not through campaigns. Through couches and conversation.
1,300 square feet. Two bedrooms. A living room with couches and a TV. A kosher kitchen. A cemented backyard. And a door that is always open.
We are not going to pretend we are something we are not. We are a small home in Dallas. We are real. We are warm. And in this home, something happens that does not happen in most places—people feel safe, accepted, and less alone.
On a Tuesday night you might walk in and find three people on the couch watching TV. Someone in the kitchen making something. A conversation happening at the table that started about nothing and turned into something real. Nobody scheduled that. Nobody programmed it. It just happened—because that is what happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves.
One of the most powerful things the Clubhouse does is invisible.
No grant reports no press releases, just heart to heart, soul to soul.
That is the treatment. That is the healing—and it happens every single day in 1,300 square feet in Dallas, Texas.
It is the moment when someone who has been carrying shame for years sits down next to someone who has been carrying it too—and neither of them says a word about it—and both of them feel, for the first time in a long time, like a normal person in a normal room having a normal night.
The Clubhouse is the place where recovery continues between therapy sessions—making coffee together, preparing for Shabbos, playing a game of pool, or simply sitting beside someone who understands.
These moments may seem ordinary. We believe they are some of the most important moments in recovery.
“in this home, something happens that does not happen in most places — people feel safe, accepted, and less alone.”
— Avi Herman, Founder
“On a Friday night the table is set. Grape juice and challah. People who had nowhere to go on Shabbos now have somewhere. Some of them are residents. Some are not. Some have been coming for months. Some walked in for the first time that night. All of them are welcome. All of them belong.”
“The Clubhouse is organic. Whatever happens, happens. We are too real and too small to be anything other than exactly what we are—and what we are is a home that is always open.”
You do not have to be in recovery. You do not have to be struggling, or doing well, or anywhere in particular on any journey. You just have to show up as a safe person—someone who respects the people around them and will not pull anyone down.
That is the only criteria. The door is open to everyone who can meet it.
What You Will Find HereCouches. A TV. A kosher kitchen. A backyard. A table that is always set. Not a waiting room. Not a facility. A home.
Grape juice and challah. An open table. Whoever shows up belongs there. You do not have to be observant. You just have to show up.
Group sessions, therapeutic programming, and clinical support woven into the fabric of daily life. Not behind a closed door with an appointment. Just available—when you are ready.
People who are going through something sit next to people who have been through it. Neighbors sit next to residents. Nobody introduces themselves by their diagnosis. They introduce themselves by their name.
Whether you are deeply observant, completely secular, or somewhere in between—this space holds you. The Jewish framework is the container. You do not have to fit perfectly inside it.
You do not have to be ready for anything. Come for the couch and the TV. Come because someone invited you. Come because you need somewhere to be tonight. That is enough. The rest happens at your pace.
Point them here before they are ready for a program. A real home with open doors is less frightening than a treatment center. And there is programming here for families too—because you are going through something real as well.
Come for Shabbos. Come to volunteer. Come to mentor, or cook, or just be present. Your presence at this table tells someone who feels invisible that they are worth showing up for. That matters more than you know.
Call first. 917-676-2014. We would rather have the conversation than miss the right referral. No criteria except being a safe person. No appointment needed.
The Clubhouse is where the model lives. Every dollar here goes directly into the home—the food, the programming, the open door. This is the most direct investment in the actual treatment.
We are small right now. 1,300 square feet. A real home. And we are not apologizing for that—because what happens in this home is real, and real is what matters.
The vision is a purpose-built Clubhouse—a space large enough to hold everything this community needs. A shul. A proper dining room that becomes a ballroom. A game room. A movie theater. A gym. A library and Beis Medrash. Clinical suites. Vocational workshops. Outdoor space. A home of refuge at every scale.
But the vision does not wait for the building. The vision is happening right now—in 1,300 square feet, on a couch, around a table, in a cemented backyard in Dallas, Texas.
The door is open.
Right now. Today. Come as you are.
