Honoring a legacy that continues to guide us.
Seven years ago, the world lost a true visionary. But Mendy Klein Z”L was never about legacy for its own sake—he was about people. Real people. Struggling people. Forgotten people.
Mendy believed that compassion should be relentless. That help should be hands-on. That if someone is hurting, we don’t look away—we lean in. He challenged others to step up, to do more, and to lead with heart.
His impact is still felt every single day.
It’s in every conversation, every case, every hard-won breakthrough at Amudim. It’s in the lives saved, the stigmas shattered, and the communities strengthened.
We continue to carry his vision forward—not just by remembering him, but by walking the path he carved: with courage, kindness, and conviction.
May his neshama have an aliyah.

Each week, Amudim fields calls covering a wide range of crises and addressing various human concerns, including addiction, depression, abuse, health and domestic emergencies and many others. We track the calls and breakdown of issues for many reasons, foremost of which is to consistently improve and strengthen our knowledge and ability to address community’s needs.
