The Home for Hebrew Infants was an orphanage, originally established at 149th Street and Mott Avenue in the Bronx on April 16, 1895, to care for Jewish babies from infancy to up to five years of age, those too young to be housed with older children. Its goal was to support the health of those in its care and prevent child mortality. By 1898, it had moved to 163rd Street and Eagle Avenue. In 1911, it had moved to Kingsbridge Road and Aqueduct Avenue.
