Anyone with biographical information is asked to please send it in.
See CONTACT page for details. Thank you.
Directions to Kever: Jennings Avenue was deep into the East Bronx. I believe this yeshiva later moved to St. Lawrence ave. That was closer to Parkchester. I believe at this point it was headed up by the famous Rabbi Ephraim Oshry. It may be that this yeshiva later merged with Rabbi Gorelik's Zichron Moshe. The later school was already in the West Bronx, a much better neighborhood, at the time. If you find more information please let me know.

I think you have the schools mixed up.
Yeshiva Ahavath Torah closed around 1950 due to the lack of funds. Until that time, it may have been the frummest yeshiva in the Bronx. Rav Moshe Bick sent his sons there. When it closed, a lot of the boys went to Salanter, but that was much less frum.
Rabbi Oshry’s yeshiva was Yeshiva Torah V’emunah. He became Menahel circa 1954, after Yeshiva Ahavath Torah had already closed. It was much less frum, and was mixed. Rav Oshry split the boys from the girls around 3rd grade. It would be considered a day school in today’s world. It closed around 1980 or maybe even later.
Rav Gorelik had Yeshiva Zichron Moshe and Bais Yaakov Bais Miriam. It was quite frum, and lasted until around 1970. Bais Yaakov Bais Miriam lasted into the 1980s.
