Telshe yeshiva (Chicago) (or Telshe Chicago or Telz Chicago) is a Haredi yeshiva (a Jewish Talmudical and rabbinical school) located in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
In 1960, Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Katz, rosh yeshiva of the Telshe yeshiva in Cleveland, Ohio, established Telshe Chicago as a branch of the Telshe yeshiva.
Telshe Chicago an institution of Torah study devoted primarily to Talmudical studies. It is dedicated to the principle that the Jewish people as a viable and vibrant entity is dependent upon the study and knowledge of Torah and Talmud. Its purpose is to train Torah scholars and to imbue them with Torah ideals and values to enable them to participate as communal leaders and activists on all levels.
For some time, the Telzer rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Katz had wanted to open a branch of the yeshiva in Chicago, but had been stymied in his efforts by local individuals opposed to the idea. Rabbi Katz managed to obtain premises in Chicago and selected a group of exemplary members of the faculty and kollel in Telz Cleveland and sent them, along with a group of students, to open the Chicago branch.
Among the Rabbis are: Rabbi Avraham Chaim Levin (Rosh HaYeshiva), Rabbi Chaim Dov Keller (Rosh HaYeshiva), the late Rabbi Chaim Schmelczer (menahel ruchani) (replaced by his son, Rabbi Moshe Schmelczer) , The Rosh HaMechina Rabbi Shmuel Yeshaya Keller (son of the Rosh HaYeshiva), maggid shiur Rabbi Shmuel Yehuda Levin(son of the Rosh HaYeshiva),Rabbi Shmuel Gluck and the Mashgiach, Rabbi Avrohom Lipschutz.
===Mechina=== The mechina ("preparatory school"), offers a four-year course for students of high school age in Talmud, Hebrew Bible, Prophets and Jewish law leading to acceptance in the yeshiva division. The mechina incorporates the Telshe High School, which offers a full four-year senior high school general studies program accredited by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
