The two friends and Rabbi Zev Gold of the local Congregation Beth Jacob Anshe Sholom formed a board and established the yeshiva on Keap Street in Williamsburg as an elementary school. The yeshiva later moved to a new building at 206 Wilson Street and remained there until 1967, while he elementary school remained at 206 Wilson St. until 1974 when it moved to East 9th Street in Brooklyn. The school was named after a yeshiva founded in Lida in 1905 by Rabbi Yitzchak Yaacov Reines, which combined secular studies with Jewish studies and traditional Talmud study. During this period the yeshiva was modeled after those in Europe, with religious studies in taught in Yiddish and Talmud taught in the style of the European yeshivas. More information...
