Mesivta Menachem Westchester
Yeshiva Mesivta Menachem - Tomchei Temimim Westchester (formerly - Tomchei Temimim Staten Island), is a Chabad high school yeshiva in Hastings-on-Hudson, Westchester. Previously it was located in Staten Island.
History[edit | edit source]
The yeshiva was founded before the 5764 (2003-2004) academic year in Staten Island, by the brothers Rabbi Ephraim Hillel Heller who serves as Rosh Yeshiva, and Rabbi Shneur Zalman Heller who serves as the Menahel Ruchani (spiritual director).
The yeshiva was established as a high school, and before the 5776 (2015-2016) academic year, as the institution expanded and opened a Yeshiva Gedolah (post-high school yeshiva) under the same administration, the yeshiva moved to Hastings-on-Hudson in Westchester (above the Bronx), where the yeshiva received a spacious, well-maintained campus that amply provides for the yeshiva's needs.
The yeshiva is distinguished by its stringent approach with high demands for yiras shamayim (fear of Heaven).
