In 1989, Menachem Mehadipur left Israel to explore europe. During the course of his stay in Holland, he met Miriam and there begins the story of their journey together, which has continued for some ten odd years, finally culminating with their "aliyah" (immigration) to Israel and settling the town of Safed.
The couple acquired an "old" stone building and from their passion to expose the beauty hidden within, immediately began the adventure of toppling stone walls, which had been added over successive generations.
The excavation of untold meters of earth in order to arrive at the original foundation of the building, which eventually led to the discovery of a "well of living water"' planted in the heart of 'Ein-Noach' and an additional room hidden beneath the first floor.

The restoration of 'Ein-Noach' was completed entirely with natural materials and the sensitivity to realize the original intent of the place. The design, furnishings, illustrations, as well as all manner of restoration work, was completed solely by the couple, Menachem and Miriam And after many months of inspiration filled and backbreaking labor, the building was finally inaugurated and given the name 'Ein-Noach'. 'Ein' is the wellspring of natural waters , which reside beneath the building. And 'Noach' is the symbol of the man that set off in a tiny vessel above the world immersed in atrophy and decline, to pass on to a different and better world.
