ABSTRACT
In June 1928 building started on the plot of land acquired in 1903. The new orphanage was opened in June 1929. It turned out to be an astounding improvement with two dormitories for boys, two for girls, two kitchens, offices, washrooms, private rooms for the director and his wife, rooms for resident staff, a sickbay, a large playroom which also served as sukkah, and a large playground in the garden. Little is known about the children who lived in the orphanage in its early years. But many stories and photographs have survived about the 25 children and the staff members who moved into the new building in 1929, and the 143 children who entered the orphanage subsequently.
