About Men's Peer Groups

I’m Dr. Baruch “B” HaLevi, and for two decades I’ve been invited into the lives of men—as a rabbi, therapist, coach, and now Co-Founder of Men’s Peer Groups (MPG).

My journey into this work began with something deeply personal—my father’s suicide. That loss cracked me open and set me on a path to find what he couldn’t: meaning, purpose, and a deeper way of being a man. Since then, I’ve guided thousands of men—through transitions, trials, and triumphs—and I’ve come to believe this:

You don’t have to be broken to want to be whole.
You can be strong, successful, and “doing fine”… and still want more.
More depth. More direction. More real connection.

Because today’s man is more isolated than ever. Over one-third of men say they have no close friends. Suicide rates continue to climb, especially in midlife. And most men simply don’t have a place to talk about what actually matters.

We train men for careers, but not for life—not for the hard stuff that sneaks up on us or the deeper questions that eventually catch up with us.

I’ve sat with men who were thriving in business but quietly disconnected at home.
Men who built impressive lives but hadn’t been truly seen in years.
Men who were “winning” by every measure—but still felt something was missing.

And I’ve walked with them through:

Marriages that needed mending

Friendships that had gone flat

Careers that no longer felt meaningful

Kids growing up and moving on

Parents growing old and fading fast

And that quiet question underneath it all: Is this really it?

Yes, one-on-one work matters. I’ve done it for years. But I’ve also learned this: one-on-one work can only take a man so far.
We need each other.
Men need tribes of other men—mirrors, witnesses, and allies.
Because healing, growth, and transformation don’t happen in isolation.
They happen in community. In brotherhood.

That’s why we built Men’s Peer Groups.

It’s not therapy. It’s not a support group. It’s a structured space for real conversations, shared wisdom, and courageous connection.
For men who don’t just want to “get by”—but to get real.
For those who aren’t waiting to hit bottom before they rise.
For good men, ready to become great men.

Now more than ever, we need this space.
Not someday. Now.
