The driveway to Yeshiva of Telshe Alumni in Hudson Hill

A branch of the Telshe Yeshiva, the Yeshiva of Telshe Alumni is located in the Hudson Hill section of Riverdale, a neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City. It was founded in the early 1980s by Rabbi , a grandson of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Bloch, the Telzer Rav; by Rabbi Yaakov Reisman, a son-in-law of Telzer Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Mordechai Gifter; and by a talmid (Heb: student) of Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, Rabbi , who came from Argentina for this purpose. The Yeshiva, with an enrollment of approximately two hundred, is currently headed by Harav Ausband Shlita.

The Yeshiva building, located at West 249th Street and Independence Avenue, across the street from Wave Hill, formerly housed the Manhattan Hebrew High School until it ceased operations at the end of the 1980–81 school year. The building at 640 West 249th Street was originally constructed around 1929 as a mansion for Anthony Campagna, a prominent real estate developer.^[1]

Learning style[]

The method of Talmudic study at the Yeshiva is based on the Rabbi Boruch Ber Lebowitz style of the Brisker method which is known for its hair-splitting "chilukim" (conceptual Talmudic distinctions) that are often hard to grasp unless one dwells on it for many hours. This style of learning can potentially greatly limit the number of folio in the Talmud that will be studied during each semester. The Rosh Yeshiva, referred to as Rebbi by his students, delivers a daily Gemara Shiur, with a follow-up Shiur, called huddle by the students, after evening services. Students will then spend hours engrossed in analyzing the shiur to fully understand the . The Yeshiva has a reputation for being one of the premier American yeshivas, in part due to its intensive and rigorous schedule, but also because of the carefully selected students, who are big "masmidim".
