Ner Yaakov

Ner Yaakov is a charity based in Jerusalem, Israel working on elderly care, health, peace & conflict.

Ner Yaakov is a non-profit organisation based in Jerusalem, Israel, that cares for Holocaust survivors. It runs a warm home where survivors can stay long-term, come on holiday, or rest and recover after illness, and provides practical help through volunteers, including visits to survivors in private homes. The organisation also hosts reconciliation meetings and welcomes groups from Israel and abroad to connect with the past. It was inspired by German Christians who wished to bring comfort to survivors and to express a desire for reconciliation. Its work has extended to survivors across Israel and in Belarus and Ukraine. The organisation was founded by Inge Buhs and others and is run largely by volunteers.
