History
The yeshiva was founded in 1988 by Rabbi David Harris, Rabbi Zvi Turk, and Rabbi Yehuda Jacobson. Beginning as a branch of Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim, it has evolved into an established yeshiva.
Enrollment is approximately 800 at the preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, and beis medrash levels. Most students continue in the associated kollel for three to eight years.
Rabbi Turk and Rabbi Jacobson are currently co-principals of the yeshiva, and teach the second and first classes of the beis medrash, respectively. It is a Lithuanian-style, Haredi but non-Hasidic yeshiva focusing on Talmud study.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
