YESHIVA TORAS CHAIM<br />

The Legacy Lives On<br />

<strong>Inaugural</strong> Tribute <strong>Dinner</strong><br />

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.
