We’re deeply mission-driven.

It’s at the heart of everything we do.

We believe that senior care management is not just about coordinating care - It’s about quality of life and maximum independence. It’s about feeling safe, supported, connected and fulfilled. It's about sleep-better-at-night peace of mind. That’s our goal.

Our Founders

Sharon Beth-Halachmy  |  Founder

Recognizing the unmet need for care coordination for seniors in Israel, Sharon transitioned from a 20-year career in corporate law to found B’Lev Shalem in 2017. Having lived most of her life in the U.S., Sharon is fluent in English (mother tongue) and Hebrew, and drew on her deep understanding of American and Israeli culture to create a culture of quality and service that uniquely caters to both. Sharon holds a JD from the University of Illinois, College of Law (1996) and a BA in Psychology from Claremont Mckenna College (1990). Previously, she was the owner of Sharon Beth-Halachmy Law Office (2012-2014) and practiced law at Funkhouser, Vegosen, Liebman and Dunn Ltd. (Chicago, Illinois), Goldfarb, Levy, Eran & Co. (Tel Aviv, Israel) and Holleb & Coff (Chicago, Illinois).
