Telshe yeshiva American transplant

Cleveland, Ohio, became a major American center of Lithuanian-style Torah learning when the Telshe Yeshiva, originally founded in 1875 in Telšiai (Telz), Lithuania, was re-established there in 1941 by its surviving roshei yeshiva, Rabbi Elya Meir Bloch and Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Katz, after fleeing the Holocaust. Known today as the Rabbinical College of Telshe, it relocated to suburban Wickliffe in 1957.
