TRIPS FACULTY

he faculty has a unique ability to combine high level shiurimT , with the talent to relate to each talmid on his own level. This is a direct reection of the vision and ideals of the Rosh HaYeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt’l. Rabbi Scheinberg, who was a world renowned BiYisrael, was recognized for his lomdus, hasmada, and psak halacha. He spent countless hours servicing the public by oering his sagacious advice, listening, and giving brachos to any individual who came to his door. This exceptional ability to sympathize with every individual, no matter what the situation, is part of the legacy that Torah Ore continues, and is reected in the attitude and approach of each and every rebbe in the Yeshiva.

FACULTY

he majority of the Torah Ore faculty have been studentsT of Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt’l, at some point in their ’learning careers’. Now, they have ‘returned home’ to pass on his message and learning style to the next generation. Being a link in the chain of this mesorah is a unique experience, which is relished by the talmidim. The Yeshiva’s faculty consists of some of the brightest, insightful and dynamic talmidei chachamim in chinuch today. From names that are world renowned, to some of the best kept secrets in chinuch, each talmid feels that he has his own personal rebbe here in the yeshiva. Whether discussing the day’s learning or seeking advice, a bochur knows that he always has someone to turn to. Here at YTO, a rebbe’s job is 24 hours a day. The talmid/rebbe relationship that is forged in our yeshiva is one that lasts a lifetime. FACULTY

One of the highlights of our facility is the beautiful and newly expanded American Beis Medrash. Our dormitory is located within the walls of the Yeshiva, so one is never too far away from the beis medrash. The yeshiva has a student lounge, a weight-room and a local basketball court available for use. Talmidim have a chance to develop relationships with local Anglo residents, many of whom frequent the Yeshiva. These relationships last a lifetime, and play a strong role in the development of our talmidim. With many locals and sta members opening their homes to the talmidim, one gets a true sense of being never too far away from home. location & facilities

One of the highlights of the yeshiva is the In-Shabbos experience, where one of the rebbeim and his family spend Shabbos together with the Yeshiva. This practice has forged bonds unattainable throughout the week. Whether it be the uplifting divrei Torah, the excitement of the family’s small children, or numerous other factors, such Shabbosim oers memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

location & facilities HISTORY

n Iyar of 1965, Rav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, zt’l, decidedI to move his Yeshiva from Bensonhurst, NY to Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh. The move at the time was unprecedented, and Yeshivas Torah Ore became the rst ‘American’ Yeshiva in Eretz Yisrael. The Rosh HaYeshiva, zt’l, had already established himself as a Talmid Chacham and a Gadol in America. Having received his smicha at the age of 19 and then traveling to the Mir in Europe, the Rosh HaYeshiva, zt’l, had the opportunity to learn under some of the greatest Torah giants of the previous generation. From Rabbi Shlomo Polachek – “The Meitschter Ilyui”, Rav Shimon Shkop, and Rav Moshe Soloveitchik, to Rav Lazer Yudel Finkel, Rav Yeruchom Levovitz and Rav Yechezkel Levenstien, Rabbi Scheinberg had the unique opportunity to learn under Gedolei Torah on two separate continents.

HISTORY

n 1971 what was then an act of recognition Iof the Rosh HaYeshiva’s status as a renowned , he was approached to become the Dayan and Morah Horaya of Kiryas Mattersdorf. Previously such an act was inconceivable, to have an American Rabbi be a Posek of an Israeli neighborhood. Rabbi Scheinberg, zt’l, quickly became famous in Eretz Yisrael as a Gadol B’Torah. His setting became one with all the Gedolim in Eretz Yisrael and his scholarly wisdom and clear psak was appreciated by all. He earned the respect and appreciation of all the other Gedolei HaDor. The Rosh HaYeshiva’s command of the English language and ability to relate to the average American endeared him to the many young Americans who were moving to Eretz Yisrael in the 1970’s. Moreover, he was sought after by the Yerushalmi and overall Israeli population who quickly found their way to his ever open door. HISTORY

n 1964, after a trip to Eretz Yisrael to visit his father’s kever Iand after guidance and encouragement by his father-in-law, Rabbi zt’l, the Rosh HaYeshiva, zt’l, decided to move Yeshivas Torah Ore to Eretz Yisrael. The Rosh HaYeshiva was not alone when he resolved to make this monumental transition. Accompanying him and his Rebbetzin on their historic move were Rabbi and Rebbetzin Chaim Dov Altusky and Rabbi and Rebbetzin Simcha Scheinberg, along with seven families and twenty bochrim. The Yeshiva was housed temporarily in the Diskin Orphanage, where it was to stay until after the Six Day War. Immediately following the war, preparations got underway to construct a building for the yeshiva in the Mattersdorf section of Yerushalayim.

edolei Torah and important people were present at Gthe groundbreaking ceremony for the new, now famous location, on Rechov Sorotzkin. Among them was HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt’l, with whom the Rosh HaYeshiva remained close until HaRav Shlomo Zalman’s petirah. The Rosh HaYeshiva gave a moving speech which he ended by saying ‘Nedari laHashem ashalem bisochachi Yerushalayim.’ – ‘His commitment to Hashem he will ful ll in the midst of Yerushalayim.’ With this, he began to ful ll his promise to build the yeshiva in Eretz Yisrael. Today we see the realization of this dream. Yeshivas Torah Ore has developed into a citadel of Torah, which includes a kollel of over 500 yungeleit. However, to this day, the jewel of the Rosh Yeshiva’s crown is the American program, the program that gave him the courage and wherewithal to start the Yeshiva. This program continues to ful ll the Rosh HaYeshiva’s promise each and every day.
