Helping married life get the right start.

Band & Choir
Band & Choir
The power of music to inspire confidence and creativity.

Zion boys learn to sing and to play keyboards, guitar and drums. These many hours of practicing culminate in special performances as Zion Band and Zion Choir.

Following weeks of practice and many days in a professional recording studio, our Zion Choir independently produce an entire CD.

Your contribution assists Zion boys in developing creativity, patience, perseverance, concentration, and motor skills – all vital tools for later in confronting life's challenges.

Family Units
Building a true "home" for Zion boys.

Zion Orphanage has pioneered the "Mishpachtone" - where a young, energetic couple lives in an apartment with their own young children, along with twelve Zion boys, ages 7-14.

This intimate family setting – often the boys' first encounter with caring, responsible adults worthy of trust – has transformative impact on the boys' physical and emotional health.
