History edit
The yeshiva was founded in 2004 by Rabbi Shimon Alster,[1] who was previously a maggid shiur in the Mesivta of Long Beach in Long Beach, New York, for over 30 years.[2] Alster was also the rabbi of Bais Medrash Torah U’tefilla in Flatbush.[2][3] The school is listed as a higher education institution by the New Jersey Office of the Secretary of Higher Education.[4]
Controversy edit
In August 2016 the citizens of Cliffwood Beach voiced their concerns against an expansion of the Yeshiva Gedolah of Cliffwood due to zoning restrictions on the area that is being planned for its construction.[5]
