Yeshiva Torah Vodaas (or Mesivta Torah Vodaas) is a yeshiva located in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Contents 1 History 2 Philosophy 3 Rosh Yeshiva 4 Notable Alumni 5 References History The Yeshiva was conceived in 1917 by friends Binyomin Wilhelm and Louis Dershowitz to provide a Yeshiva education to the children of families then moving from the Lower East Side to Williamsburg Brooklyn. The two friends contacted prominent local Rabbi Zev Gold of Congregation Beth Jacob Anshe Sholom [1][2] and together they formed a board and established the yeshiva in Williamsburg as an elementary school. Rabbi Gold was elected as the yeshiva's first president[3] and chose the name Torah Vodaas after the yeshiva of Rabbi Yitzchak Yaacov Reines in Lida where he had studied in his youth.[4] The founding members of the yeshiva soon offered the principalship of the institution to Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz. From 1922 to 1948, the yeshiva was headed by Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, who insisted that he be addressed as Mr rather than as Rabbi. Under Mendlowitz's leadership a yeshiva high school - known as the Mesivta - was opened in 1927. Later he opened a Yeshiva Gedola as well. The Yeshiva later moved to 452 and 425 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218 where it is located today. Philosophy "Torah im Derech Eretz" historically influenced the yeshiva's philosophy,[5] but today it is strongly influenced by the haredi philosophy. However, Torah Vodaath is one of the few major haredi yeshivohs that allow its students to attend college while studying at the yeshiva. The great majority of the yeshiva's graduates go on to work in fields that are not related to the torah education that they received in yeshiva. Rosh Yeshiva One of the current roshei yeshiva is Rabbi Yisroel Belsky, who is also a posek for the Orthodox Union.[6] The yeshiva has had many prominent roshei yeshiva, including Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Pam, Rabbi Shlomo Heiman, Rabbi Dovid Leibowitz, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky, Rabbi Shachne Zohn, Rabbi Zelik Epstein, Rabbi Gedalia Schorr, Rabbi Elya Chazan and Rabbi Reuvain Grozovsky.
