Beth Medrash Elyon is a four-year, not-for-profit yeshiva in Monsey, New York.[1]
History
In 1943, Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz purchased a property in Monsey with the intention to raise the education level of Torah teachers. Named Aish Dos (Pillar of Fire), the institute comprised on two buildings on a sixteen-acre plot. Its first class comprised on thirty students. In 1944 it was reconstituted as Beth Medrash Elyon.[2]
Though Beth Medrash Elyon closed in the 1970s for a period of time due to disagreements among the leaders of the yeshiva, it was subsequently reopened. It was headed by R' Don Ungarischer, the son in law of Refael Reuvain Grozovsky, until Ungarischer's death on October 30, 2011. Ungarischer's son-in-law, R' Yisroel Mordechai Falk, in turn, currently serves as Rosh Yeshiva.
