Does anyone have any information about Yeshiva Rabbi Shlomo Kluger? From the little I’ve found it seems it was on the Lower East Side in the early part of the 20th century and may have merged with Yeshiva Ch’san Sofer (Mattersdorf) after the war.
That’s correct.
It was on the Lower East Side and moved to Brooklyn when it merged with Chasan Sofer.
It was a boys’ elementary school with both limudei kodesh and limudei chol, including such classes as music instruction. My grandfather attended in the late thirties-early forties (continued to MTJ) and remembers it as a great school.
Hamodia’s magazine had two excellent articles that touched the topic of the yeshiva. I think they were by the same writer.
One, about a year ago was about Rav Yaakov Flantzgrabben the famous top Rebbi there and the other about ten months ago about the nahn in nahntzeger shtiebel that was connected to the yeshiva and on the same block on Houston Street.
If I remember right, both articles had pictures of the yeshiva from the outside
The merger was in the late 40s mamash invei hagefen vinvei hagefen. The original yeshiva was founded at the turn of the century, you couldn’t ask for greater yichus. In case you were going to ask, any bad habits you might have heard of might have been true once but they quit.
Google the yeshiva and check for the judaism.stackexchange result- it helped me a lot when I needed background info for a family history project.
Lior:
It was a gag. Squeak was talking about it as though it was a marriage.
Yes, my point being that currently, there’s more information there than you’d find on this thread. Even if it might rank higher on Google.
It happens to be very helpful.
