Ezrat Avot - Aging with Dignity in Jerusalem - עזרת אבות

For nearly five decades, Ezrat Avot has supported seniors and Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem, ensuring they age with dignity. What began in 1976 as a humble soup kitchen—inspired by Rabbi Shlomo Gamliel and led by Naomi Sharabi—has grown into a thriving nonprofit dedicated to enhancing independence and quality of life for our elderly community. At Ezrat Avot, we believe that seniors should remain in their own homes and communities for as long as possible, preserving their dignity and well-being. We provide essential services such as Meals on Wheels, dry goods and holiday package distributions, social activities, and events—all free of charge. Our work is made possible by the unwavering commitment of volunteers from Israel and around the world. In recent years, we have been realizing a courageous vision: the creation of a six-story Senior Health & Life Enrichment Center in Jerusalem. This one-of-a-kind facility will offer vital services, enriching activities, and a welcoming community under one roof. It will be a vibrant meeting place for all of Jerusalem’s elderly, regardless of race, religion, or cultural background. Our vision is clear: a Jerusalem where every elderly individual feels valued, supported, and connected. With the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers, we are turning this vision into reality. Join us. Whether you volunteer, donate, or partner with us, you become part of a community that cherishes its elders and honors their legacy.
