YESHIVAS TORAS CHAIM<br />
AN OVERVIEW<br />
Yeshiva Toras Chaim is centrally located in the Romema neighborhood of<br />
Yerushalayim. It is named after the esteemed Rav of Antwerp, Belgium, Maran<br />
HaGaon R’ Chaim Kreiswirth k"eumz. He left a legacy that lives on through the<br />
establishment of the Yeshiva by his son, the vchahv atr, HaRav HaGaon R' Dov<br />
Kreiswirth t"yhka and his grandson, the hbjur kvbn, HaRav Zvi Twersky t"yhka.<br />
Just under three years ago, Toras Chaim became a reality. The first step was to<br />
find a suitable building. An empty shell of a building in the heart of Yerushalayim<br />
that had been unoccupied for many years was located with great thnas t,ghhx. It was<br />
then turned in to a state of the art facility designed specifically for the Yeshiva’s<br />
needs virtually overnight with the help and support of two tireless individuals,<br />
Reb Shloime Bronner and Reb Ephraim Kutner. A dream was turned in to an<br />
imaginable reality.<br />
Once the building was secured, the next step was to find Talmidim. The Rebbeim<br />
intended to start the Yeshiva with a group of thirty to forty Bochurim. Word<br />
spread quickly and with tremendous thnas t,ghhx, ninety-five ohshnk, enrolled in the<br />
first year and the Yeshiva has grown to nearly two hundred ohshnk, in its third year.<br />
Indeed, the dream and vision of vru, learning combined with personal growth has<br />
become a reality.<br />
Yeshiva Toras Chaim exemplifies the outlook and approach of Rav Chaim<br />
Kreiswirth k"eumz, combining high levels of learning with exceptionally dedicated<br />
and dynamic rugha hshdn in an atmosphere that exudes warmth and tremendous<br />
ohhjv ,jna. Special emphasis is placed on improving one’s ,ushn, becoming whkg hbc<br />
and developing into vru, hbc. The Yeshiva’s building and facilities promote feelings<br />
of vru,v sucf in a nurturing environment. One of the hallmarks of Yeshiva Toras<br />
Chaim is sparing no effort when it comes to creating the right environment for<br />
our talmidim’s spiritual growth.
