    Our Mission

    The Next Step is the sole organization in the Jewish world dedicated to providing comprehensive support for individuals and their families affected by limb loss. Founded on the principles of inclusion, community, and resilience, we strive to empower individuals who have experienced limb loss to regain independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose.

    The Next Step is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of Israel's limb-loss community through comprehensive rehabilitation, adaptive sports, mental health support, and community building.

    The Problem We Solve

    When someone loses a limb,
    the hospital sends them home.

    The government checks a box. The payment is issued. And then the person sits in their living room, alone, wondering how they will ever go back to being who they were.

    That is where we come in.

    The Next Step exists because there must be something after the hospital. Not another institution — a community. A family. A place where someone who has been through it says: "I know exactly what you're feeling. And here is how you get through it."
