Yeshiva Toras Emes Kamenitz [1] is an Orthodox boys school located at 1904 Avenue N in the Midwood section of Flatbush. [2]
The school began as a pair of buildings housing the elementary grades, on 43rd street between 13th and 14th Avenue, and a separate building blocks away housing the high school, all in the lower end of Boro Park.
Decades later, the 3 buildings were consolidated into a single building, a mile away.
In the year 2000, the school relocated to its present location at 1904 Avenue N, Brooklyn, NY 11230. [1]
The backgrounds of students changed from "the 1940s..." when "Rabbi Schwartz assumed leadership of Torah Emes." [3] [4] The growing presence of Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union within Brooklyn added to the yeshiva, and he helped with "the many challenges they faced." [5] [6]
The high school's historical Kamenitz name [7] has been augmented to include the name Joseph S. Gruss. [8]
References to the elementary school use Yeshiva Toras Emes. [9] Rabbi Elias Schwartz served "over 50 years" [10] as the Dean/Hebrew principal of the yeshiva, beginning in its early (Boro Park) years.
