The orphanage was founded near the Bukharim quarter in 1900 [2] [3] by Rabbi Abraham Yochanan Blumenthal (1877 [4] –1966 [5]), a native of Jerusalem, [4] who led the orphanage for 50 years. [2] Blumenthal's wife, Shaina, served as a director for 40 years. [6] By 1920, the Blumenthal Orphanage was home to 85 orphans.
The orphanage was originally intended to be a home for refugee children who had escaped the pogroms following the assassination of Emperor Alexander II of Russia in 1881. [1] Due to the fact that many of the children had lost their parents, the Jewish community of Berlin converted the home into an orphanage in 1882.
