Amudim Community Resources

What Amudim Community Resources does

Amudim Community Resources, Inc. is a New York-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 by Mendy Klein (z"l) and Zvi Gluck to function as a single, confidential first point of contact for Jewish community members in crisis. The organization delivers crisis intervention, clinical case management, and direct referrals across four core service lines: sexual abuse support, substance abuse and addiction, domestic violence, and mental health. Service delivery is human-led rather than software-led: a 24/7 crisis hotline (646-517-0222), regional case offices across five US locations (Inwood NY, Lakewood NJ, Lawrence NY, Wickliffe OH, Miami FL) plus Jerusalem, the Shvilim Center outpatient clinic in Inwood, and a telehealth platform. Case managers — all clinically credentialed (LCSW, LMSW, LMHC, CASAC) — typically retain cases for ~18 months, providing insurance advocacy, single case agreement support, and ongoing monitoring rather than transactional referrals.

Amudim operates a portfolio of differentiated programs and sub-brands: Gavz Boyz (year-round mentorship for at-risk adolescent boys, reporting 90%+ positive outcomes), Project Heal (therapy subsidies for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse), Darcheinu and Our Path SEL (30-week culturally tailored social-emotional learning curricula licensed to Jewish day schools and yeshivas), and a free Mental Health First Aid training course. Preventive and overdose-response programming includes 240+ Narcan training sessions with 11,000+ kits distributed in partnership with the NYPD Community Affairs Bureau. Cumulative scale metrics reported include 13,240+ cases opened, 484,565+ crisis calls handled, 57,193+ event participants, 7.1M+ PSA video views, and service to clients in 41 US states, 443 US cities, 55 Israeli cities, and 51 countries. The technology stack is operationally focused rather than productized: Salesforce CRM for case tracking and documentation, telehealth for remote sessions, and earned-media-heavy awareness channels (weekly newsletter, YouTube PSAs, social, community press).

The business model is donation-funded and free to end users. Revenue is derived from private donations (with $1,000+ donors publicly recognized) and government grants (which require reporting of certain client data, e.g., an OVW Disabilities Grant). No fees are charged to clients, though insurance information may be collected to bill covered services. Charity Navigator (4-star) and GuideStar (Platinum Seal of Transparency) ratings support fundraising credibility. Governance is family-anchored: Ita Klein is Board Chair, with Klein family members Nati and Yoni Klein on the Board of Directors and sons-in-law on the Board of Governors; CEO Zvi Gluck and Executive Director Rabbi Andy Lauber run operations.

Direct peers

• Ohel Children's Home and Family Services: Long-standing Orthodox and broader Jewish community mental health and social services organization offering outpatient mental health, foster care, and crisis support. Directly comparable to Amudim in serving the Jewish community with culturally competent mental health services, though older and broader in scope.
• Jewish Family Services of America (network): Federation of Jewish family service agencies delivering case management, counseling, and crisis support across North America. Closely matches Amudim's case-management-and-referral model but serves a broader cross-denominational Jewish population rather than a specifically Orthodox constituency.
• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): Operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline and online helpline, the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the U.S. Directly comparable to Amudim's Sexual Abuse Services line of business in scope, helpline-driven delivery, and case-management referrals, but secular and nationwide in reach.
• Crisis Text Line: 24/7 text-based crisis intervention service that triages and de-escalates mental health crises. Directly comparable to Amudim's 24/7 crisis call line and crisis-led GTM, with similar volunteer/staff-supported case intake, though delivered via SMS rather than voice and without the Orthodox Jewish cultural specialization.
• JED Foundation: Jewish-rooted nonprofit focused on teen and young-adult mental health and suicide prevention, including the JED Campus program for colleges. Highly comparable to Amudim's Amudim Israel gap-year student services and Gavz Boyz youth programming, both targeting Jewish young adults in transition.

Broad incumbents

• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Federally backed 24/7 crisis line for suicidal and mental health crises, launched nationwide in 2022. Overlaps heavily with Amudim's crisis-call channel as a comparable (and free) alternative for the same end-users, and represents the secular, government-funded incumbent Amudim competes against for first-call share.
• NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness): Largest U.S. grassroots mental health organization offering Helpline, support groups, and education. Comparable to Amudim on education-and-awareness distribution and family-focused mental health support, but operates nationwide without cultural specialization.

Others

• Chabad-Lubavitch: Global Orthodox Jewish movement providing social services, education, and crisis response infrastructure across thousands of communities. Adjacent rather than directly competitive - shares the Orthodox community-rooted trust network Amudim draws on for referrals, but its primary mission is religious education rather than clinical crisis services.
• Agudath Israel of America: Orthodox Jewish advocacy and service organization operating at scale across the U.S. Comparable ecosystem player via community influence and rabbinical networks, but focused on policy and broader communal services rather than direct clinical crisis intervention.
• Touro University: Jewish-sponsored university system with health sciences and behavioral health programs. Co-hosts the EmpowerEd Mental Health Summit with Amudim; an enabling/ecosystem partner rather than a competitor, but operationally adjacent given overlapping clinician pipelines and student-facing mental health programming.
