Early Years
Yeshivas Kol Torah was founded in 1939 by Rabbi Dr. Yechiel Michel Schlesinger (1898–1948), born in Hamburg, Germany and Rabbi Boruch Kunstadt, a Dayan from Fulda, Germany. It was the first mainstream Haredi yeshiva to teach in Hebrew, as opposed to Yiddish, as was accepted at the time. This innovation had the crucial support of the Chazon Ish. After Rabbi Schlesinger's death in 1949, Kol Torah was headed by Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach until his death in 1995.
