Hebrew National Orphan Home, Jewish orphanage in Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York, United States
The Hebrew National Orphan Home operated from a building at 57 East 7th Street, providing shelter and care for Jewish boys in need.
Founded in 1912 with an initial contribution of 64 dollars, the institution moved to a larger facility in Yonkers in 1920 to accommodate 184 children.
The facility maintained Jewish traditions and education while offering vocational training and general studies to prepare children for independent life.
The records from the orphanage contain detailed information about admissions, discharges, and family histories, available at the American Jewish Historical Society.
In 1947, the institution changed its name to Homecrest and later merged with Gustave Hartman Home for Children before joining the Jewish Child Care Association.
