Although the strides made by this infant democracy have evoked the admiration of much of the world. it remains a fact that Israels present economic level still falls short of permitting free public education on the secondary or high school level. One of the means of solving this problem was the concept that led to the establishment of Boys Town Jerusalem. The objective was to provide academic and vocational training and a measure of spiritual guidance to boys who were being brought to Israel through emigration. What began as an extremely small operation with a student population of just 18 boys has grown into a school that is now able to give free education and auxiliary support to over 350 boys who have come to Israel from 25 different countrie. Approximately half of these youngsters are orphans.
