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 future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
