Mesivta Ohel Torah (lit. 'Tent of Torah'), also known as Yeshiva High School of Monsey[1] is an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Monsey, New York, United States.

History

Ohel Torah was founded in 1987 by Shmuel Rosengarten—a grandson of Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg[2]—and Gabriel Bodenheimer.[1] The school is located in the College and Carlton neighborhood of the unincorporated place of Monsey, in the town of Ramapo, New York.[3] During the school's planning stage, a local resident opposed the granting of a variance for a proposed dormitory. As part of the response to this opposition, Hershy Itzkowitz backed a proposal to carve out a new village in this area, to be called Highview Heights—a motion that failed.[4]

Enrollment

The yeshiva, located at 91 College Road, has 109 students. It is primarily set up as two divisions; "Mesivta" (9th-11th grade) and "Bais Medrash" (12th grade and up).[5] Access to the school is obtained via a dedicated driveway which connects it to College Road.[6]
