Discovering Israel and life from a new perspective
We have learned to keep getting up and facing challenges with strong faith.
The pandemic forced us to give up our guest business and some of our goals. The war shattered plans and put visions on ice. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
We know what it’s like to be left with your hands tied and to reinvent yourself repeatedly.
Every life is unique, and many stories deserve to be told.
We report from Israel – from our lives and life here.
We produce short films and TV reports, write articles and give lectures, both online and on-site.
We would happily organize a special Israel evening for you or your group. We share stories from our lives, give insights into Israeli culture or talk about topics close to our hearts – whether in Israel or abroad. And if you’re ever in our area, don’t hesitate to visit us.
Get in touch.

“I’d love to come back again! It was a wonderful time. Very loving and appreciative atmosphere. From breakfast to the excursions, everything was done with attention to detail. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommended!”
“If you are not looking for an anonymous hotel, but rather something personal and unusual, you should stay with the Funk family. Here, a German-Russian-Israeli way of life comes together, which makes the stay varied. The hosts Alex and Beni are cheerful, hospitable, accommodating and always available for funny and entertaining conversations.”
“I found our time in Gan Ner to be very blessed. It was a combination of several factors that led us to stay not just for a week (as originally planned), but more than twice as long. The warm, open nature of each family member was probably the most important factor, which made us quickly feel like part of the family. Not to mention the great support we received, for example, when planning the hike. Personally, I will never forget many of the stories and wisdom that we were given. Most of them had a connection to the place we had just visited. #alternative tourism #insider tip that TripAdvisor doesn’t know about yet”
“Life at Funks in Israel is familiar, comfortable and exciting! The multi-cultural family life makes every day extraordinary. I especially enjoyed the good conversations and the great food. I would love to come back!”

“We owe you an unforgettable, stimulating and at the same time relaxing time in Israel. … If you want to get to know Israel better, the best thing to do is to share life with the Funk family for a while and experience the varied everyday life. Enjoy the fruits of the land, delight in Alex’s cooking and baking skills, …, enjoy the children and animals, hear a lot from Benjamin about history, politics and everyday life on trips through the country and experience God’s presence, … .”
“The time with the Funks was very nice. The area around the Gilboa Mountains is perfect for short hiking tours that you can start from your home. Beni and Alex’s support with travel tips and equipment for camping was very helpful.”
“The hospitality is unbeatable. Cozy rooms, brilliant community, breathtaking country & culture experience up close! I’d love to come back soon. Definitely a place2be to recommend.”
