Diskin Orphanage, Heritage site in Kiryat Moshe, Jerusalem, Israel.
The white stone building of Diskin Orphanage features architectural elements from the 1920s with grand arches and tall windows across its facade.
Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin established the institution in 1881 to care for orphaned children, relocating it to its current location in 1927.
The orphanage transformed from a residential facility into a support organization that provides educational guidance and essential services to children in need.
The building stands at the western entrance of Jerusalem, offering assistance programs including clothing distribution, dental care, and educational support for youth.
Architects Joseph Barsky and Joshua Zvi Tabachnik incorporated both European and Middle Eastern design elements into the building's structure.
