Yeshiva of Telshe Alumni

A branch of the Telshe Yeshiva, the Yeshiva of Telshe Alumni is located in the Hudson Hill section of Riverdale, a neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City. It was founded in the early 1980s by Rabbi Avraham Ausband, a grandson of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Bloch, the Telzer Rav; by Rabbi Yaakov Reisman, a son-in-law of Telzer Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Mordechai Gifter; and by a talmid of Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, Rabbi Yosef Chaim Libersohn, who came from Argentina for this purpose. The Yeshiva, with an enrollment of approximately two hundred, is currently headed by Harav Ausband Shlita.

The Yeshiva building, located at West 249th Street and Independence Avenue, across the street from Wave Hill, formerly housed the Manhattan Hebrew High School until it ceased operations at the end of the 1980-81 school year. The building at 640 West 249th Street was originally constructed around 1929 as a mansion for Anthony Campagna, a prominent real estate developer.
