Toras chaim
“Yeshiva Toras Chaim is a Litvish/Chareidi yeshiva for primarily English-speaking bochurim, with a strong emphasis on high-level Gemara learning and developing a serious connection to Torah and Avodas Hashem. The yeshiva was founded by Rav Dov Kreiswirth zt”l and Rav Zvi Twersky shlit”a, and is named after Rav Chaim Kreiswirth zt”l. Rav Zvi Twersky is the current Rosh Yeshiva. The atmosphere is serious about learning but warm and personal, with a large staff of Rebbeim, Mashgichim and a Ruchani Menahel. The yeshiva has separate first, second, third and fourth-year shiurim. There is a strong focus on developing each bochur according to his learning style and individual kochos. Rav Chaim Tepfer, the Menahel Ruchani, oversees the emotional and spiritual well-being of the yeshiva.”
