Information
Established1886
Closed1915

Etz Chaim Yeshiva was founded in 1886 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The institution was originally established as a cheder-style elementary school. In 1915, it merged with the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary to form the Rabbinical College of America. After the merger, the elementary grades of Etz Chaim were discontinued, and only the high school remained. This high school eventually became today's Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy. Over time, the Rabbinical College of America evolved into Yeshiva College and later into Yeshiva University.
