Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home — Organization Profile
Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home in Haifa is a Christian senior care home for elderly believers in Yeshua, Jesus Christ, in Israel. The name “Ebenezer” comes from 1 Samuel 7:12 and reflects the home’s testimony that the Lord has helped and will continue to care for his people. Its ministry focus is providing a safe, loving home where elderly believers’ physical, spiritual, and emotional needs are cared for in a believing environment.
Ebenezer is located in Haifa, Israel, at 41 Meir Rutberg Street. The home serves Israeli citizens in their elderly years, including Jewish, Arab, and other Gentile believers from different backgrounds and languages. Public directory information notes residents with Hebrew, Arabic, English, German, Romanian, Hungarian, Serbian, and other language backgrounds, all united by faith in Christ.
The home was founded in 1976 and has served many elderly believers, including Holocaust survivors. Ebenezer’s materials explain that older believers in Israel may experience loneliness, isolation, or rejection because of their faith in Yeshua, sometimes even within their own families. The home exists to provide a supportive Christian community where residents can live with dignity, fellowship, prayer, worship, and daily encouragement in the Lord.
Ebenezer’s daily life includes prayer, Scripture reading, singing, meals, activities, and shared fellowship. Resident activities include basket weaving, art, embroidery, rug weaving, trips, physical therapy, concerts, and other community experiences. The home also emphasizes the spiritual calling of older believers, encouraging residents to continue serving through prayer for one another, the staff, the next generation, and the wider body of believers.
The home operates as a nonprofit and relies on donations and partner organizations because many residents cannot cover the full cost of care. IsraelGives states that Ebenezer provides physical, health, social, and spiritual care in accordance with Ministry of Welfare requirements. New resident inquiries are available for people living in Israel, with applications reviewed according to resident criteria and care needs.
People can engage with Ebenezer Senior Citizen’s Home by praying for residents and staff, giving financially through the home’s donation pages and partner organizations, subscribing to updates, contacting the home, arranging a visit by appointment, or volunteering. Volunteer opportunities are available for adults ages 18–35 who want to serve elderly believers through practical support, nurses’ aide help, general assistance, and maintenance.
