The Holocaust Survivors Home in Haifa
In 2009, the ICEJ began a partnership with a local charity to provide a warm community/Home for them in Haifa. This unique joint project between Christians and Jews offers assisted-living facilities and a warm community of loving Israeli staff and ICEJ volunteers looking after their daily needs.
The Haifa Home for Holocaust Survivors is a community that is comprised of 3 main social & admin buildings and many apartments in over 19 low rise buildings on 3 streets. Due to this extraordinary “Home” many of the old buildings and apartments are in constant need for maintenance and reconstruction to adapt to the changing needs of an aging population.
Every one of the Holocaust Survivors who reside in our assisted living facility has a dramatic story of how, as young children, they survived the terrors of World War II, lost their loved ones, and were all alone until they came to the ICEJ’s Haifa Home.
We may not be able to take away all their nightmares and struggles, but together with YOUR help we can provide a comforting, loving, and caring home for their twilight years with:
- 24/7 quality care provided by professionally trained staff and medical nurses
- 3 nutritious meals a day
- Community and therapeutic activities
- Renovation and maintenance of the facility
- A warm and loving assisted living home
You can be the hands and feet that give love and comfort to those who have suffered so much.
Yudit Setz, our ICEJ Aid Deputy Director and coordinator for the Haifa Home thanked Canadians:
We are so thankful and you are all amazing supporters to cover our electricity bills and water bills. These bills keep coming and electricity is used a lot in the summer (due to the heat) and in the winter (when elderly are usually cold), may God bless you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
ICEJ Canada actively supports the Haifa Home by providing funds for these costs. We have dedicated this special Campaign to ensure that these wonderful people can live out their final years in comfort and with compassion.
