Zion Orphanage, Jewish orphanage in Geula district, Jerusalem, Israel.
The one-acre facility includes a central courtyard, outdoor playground, gymnasium, library, and petting zoo for children aged 3 to 22 years old.
Rabbi Abraham Yochanan Blumenthal established the orphanage in 1900 near the Bukharim quarter, making it the oldest active Jewish orphanage in Israel.
The institution serves children from Sephardi, Ashkenazi, and Hasidic communities, fostering unity through Hebrew language instruction and shared traditions.
The orphanage operates with family units where groups of 12 children live together with young couples who serve as residential parents.
The facility hosted the first Jerusalem gathering of the Belzer Rebbe after his escape from Nazi-occupied Europe in 1944.
