Some two dozen boys tell of growing up in the Hebrew National
Orphan Home. Though punishment was often brutal and where a few
boys were victims of sexual predators, residents had many
religious, recreational, educational, cultural, and athletic
opportunities. Most agree that the good far outweighed the bad.
Orphanage horror stories of the 19th and early 20th centuries
brought on the modern welfare system that includes foster-care
programs. Yet as effective as the foster-care programs throughout
the nation have been in providing good care and safety for many
hundreds of thousands of children, there are still far too many
youngsters who have been ill-served by these programs. Many are
shunted from place to place. The authors argue that well-run
orphanages offer a better solution. Their essays tell the story of
The Home that reared them and provides understanding of what life
in an orphanage was like.
