YESHIVA TORAS CHAIM Inaugural Tribute Dinner
The Legacy Lives On

YESHIVAS TORAS CHAIM

AN OVERVIEW

Yeshiva Toras Chaim is centrally located in the Romema neighborhood of
Yerushalayim. It is named after the esteemed Rav of Antwerp, Belgium, Maran
HaGaon R’ Chaim Kreiswirth k"eumz. He left a legacy that lives on through the
establishment of the Yeshiva by his son, the vchahv atr, HaRav HaGaon R' Dov
Kreiswirth t"yhka and his grandson, the hbjur kvbn, HaRav Zvi Twersky t"yhka.
Just under three years ago, Toras Chaim became a reality. The first step was to
find a suitable building. An empty shell of a building in the heart of Yerushalayim
that had been unoccupied for many years was located with great thnas t,ghhx. It was
then turned in to a state of the art facility designed specifically for the Yeshiva’s
needs virtually overnight with the help and support of two tireless individuals,
Reb Shloime Bronner and Reb Ephraim Kutner. A dream was turned in to an
imaginable reality.
Once the building was secured, the next step was to find Talmidim. The Rebbeim
intended to start the Yeshiva with a group of thirty to forty Bochurim. Word
spread quickly and with tremendous thnas t,ghhx, ninety-five ohshnk, enrolled in the
first year and the Yeshiva has grown to nearly two hundred ohshnk, in its third year.
Indeed, the dream and vision of vru, learning combined with personal growth has
become a reality.

Yeshiva Toras Chaim exemplifies the outlook and approach of Rav Chaim
Kreiswirth k"eumz, combining high levels of learning with exceptionally dedicated
and dynamic rugha hshdn in an atmosphere that exudes warmth and tremendous
ohhjv ,jna. Special emphasis is placed on improving one’s ,ushn, becoming whkg hbc
and developing into vru, hbc. The Yeshiva’s building and facilities promote feelings
of vru,v sucf in a nurturing environment. One of the hallmarks of Yeshiva Toras
Chaim is sparing no effort when it comes to creating the right environment for
our talmidim’s spiritual growth.
