Israel's oldest active Orphanage, Zion Blumenthal, founded in 1900, is dedicated to providing disadvantaged youth in Israel with the care and education they need to thrive into responsible adults and productive members of society.

The founder, Rabbi Abraham Yochanan Blumenthal, pioneered the practice of providing homeless children, not just a place of refuge, but a home with the warmth, care and security of a loving family. This has continued generation after generation until today, providing children from diverse backgrounds and different needs with individual care and guidance.

Today the Orphanage, located on an acre of land in the heart of Jerusalem, serves some 100 children, ages 6-18. While some of the children are orphans, many come from dysfunctional, abusive or poverty-stricken homes and have been placed in the orphanage by the welfare agencies. Others are immigrant children from throughout the world, whose parents are unable to care for them. A percentage of the high school age boys come from good homes yet lack the means to pay tuition.
