Mesivta Ohel Torah (lit. 'Tent of Torah'), also known as Yeshiva High School of Monsey 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—and Gabriel Bodenheimer. The school is located in the College and Carlton neighborhood of the unincorporated place of Monsey, in the town of Ramapo, New York. 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.
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). Access to the school is obtained via a dedicated driveway which connects it to College Road.
