School Description
Provided by Telshe Yeshiva- ChicagoTelshe 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.
We seek therefore to help students build a world outlook drawn from the ethical and moral concepts of Judaism. If scholarship is to have a significant value it must orient its students to a way of life that, by its own definition, is good and moral.
We offer a program that prepares individuals for advanced Talmudic scholarship and research and for entry into a program leading to ordination as Rabbis; students are also qualified to enter conventional graduate and professional schools. Includes instruction in Jewish Law and Jurisprudence, Philosophy, and Ethics, in addition to a major emphasis on Talmud.

History
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.11 grade rabbi asher wiell,10 grade rabbi mannes,9 grade rabbi newman and mechinah mashgiach rabbi shmully Schmelczer rabbi motti eisenbach son-in-law of the late Rabbi Chaim Schmelczer
