Magda
Housemother - with all her heart, each and every moment
Magda has been working at the Ebenezer Home since 2012, and three of those years as the house mother. Her daily tasks are very diverse, like those of a mother ... ;)
She makes sure, the residents are well off, their rooms are furnished according to their needs, and if they have specific needs, she goes and shops for them. Another part of her daily work is domestic economics. Every week Magda meets with the kitchen staff to plan the menu, taking into account the diets of the individual residents. Magda also is the first person to contact about laundry and house cleaning. In short: She oversees everything related to the domestic economy. During the year, she organizes various feast celebrations for the residents in the Ebenezer Home or the adjacent garden. Magda is also in regular contact with suppliers, compares prices, and orders food.
The ambience at Ebenezer is very friendly. It feels like a second home to her, and Magda enjoys being at Ebenezer. She explains, "In my daily work, I experience how God gives me the strength, wisdom, and joy to accomplish all tasks. He brought me here. For me it's a privilege to serve Him and the residents here, and it's incredibly fun for me. I want to work for Him with all my heart, each and every moment."

"And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you:
I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
Isaiah 46:4
"I was able to move to Ebenezer in May 2012.
I was so happy and felt myself younger and healthier. This is my home and I love it. Where else can you receive such love from the workers and attention, songs, and gifts from the visitors? From here, I will move only to my heavenly home."

charity for the elderly
charity for the elderly
Our goal is to enable Israeli citizens in their elderly years to have a place to call home in a believing environment that represents Christian and Biblical values. Because of Yeshua, our Home consists of both Jewish and Arab believers living joyfully together in Him!
Every day, inspectors from the health department, our suppliers, and many others are coming to Ebenezer. Often, they each ask the same question: "I notice something is different here... what is it that makes this home so peaceful?".
TESTIMONIES
Over the years, the Ebenezer Home has been home to many different people. Each of them has a unique story which can make you laugh and cry, marveling at, and giving thanks to the Lord for all He has done in and thru them!
REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE
A book was written for our 40th anniversary (2016). It recounts the story of the creation and development of the Ebenezer Home to this day, as well as insights into the formation of the state of Israel. In addition, it is filled with emotionally moving, true-life stories, of some of our residents, which have been recorded. They all testify to God's faithfulness and grace, which is new every day.
For a small donation you can also get embroidered and knitted items, cards, baskets, art and much more... Made with love, to give away or to enjoy yourself!
1 SAMUEL 7:12
"Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."
The name "Ebenezer" bears witness to God's goodness, our faith in Him, and that He will continue to care for us in the future so that we can say this verse every single day.
How can we serve you?
