Gateshead Talmudical College ((ヘブライ語:ישיבת בית יוסף גייטסהעד)), popularly known as Gateshead Yeshiva, is located in the town of Gateshead in England. It is the largest yeshiva in Europe and considered to be one of the most prestigious advanced yeshivas in the Orthodox world. The student body currently (as of 2012) numbers approx. 300. Although students are mainly British, there are European, American, Canadians as well as some from South America and Australia. The yeshiva was founded in Gateshead in 1929 by Reb Dovid Dryan, with the Chofetz Chaim serving as an active patron and appointing the original heads of the yeshiva. The first rosh yeshiva and ''menahel'' (principal) were respectively Rabbi Nachman Landinski and Rabbi Eliezer Kahan, both alumni of the famed Novardok yeshiva network and both of whom had escaped Communist Russia religious persecution by escaping across the border from Russia to Poland. Originally, Rabbi Avraham Sacharov was designated as first rosh yeshiva, but Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz asked William Joynson Hicks, the Home Secretary, to block Sacharov's immigration in an attempt to prevent the establishment of a yeshiva outside his jurisdiction. The attempt failed and Landynski, Sacharov's brother-in-law, was appointed instead.〔http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written_answers/1926/feb/08/rabbi-abraham-sacharov; https://books.google.com/books?id=MKWEwUxMSQEC&pg=PA356&lpg=PA356&dq=abraham+sacharov&source=bl&ots=1Uk8L5-bQa&sig=VhBqzpiOnNPKzuJJOI6SKySSJQk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAGoVChMI-t-OrIeGxgIVRH-SCh14XwCB#v=onepage&q=abraham%20sacharov&f=false〕 At its conception, Gateshead Yeshiva was seen as a branch of Novardok, officially sharing its doctrines, ideals and methodology and named "Yeshivas Beis Yosef" in common with other branches of Novardok. ==Notable faculty== Rosh yeshivas: * 1929-1951: Rabbi Nachman Dovid Landinski, an alumnus of Radin, Eishishok (〔Eišiškės, see ISBN 978-0316232395〕), Kelm, Mir, Łomża, Suvalk and Novardok yeshivas * 1947-1979: Rabbi Leib Lopian, son of Rabbi Elyah Lopian, an alumnus of Telz yeshiva * 1947-1984: Rabbi Leib Gurwicz, an alumnus of Mir, Baranovitch and Brisk yeshivas * 1984-: Rosh Yeshiva: Rabbi Avrohom Gurwicz, an alumnus of Brisk yeshiva, and a past student Menahalim: * Rabbi Chizkiyahu Eliezer Kahan, an alumnus of Novardok Yeshivah * Rabbi Zev Cohen, an alumnus of Chevron Yeshivah (served the Yeshivah with all his might for 55 years, 1953–2007) Mashgichim: * Rabbi Moshe Schwab * Rabbi Matisyohu Salomon, now mashgiach at Lakewood Yeshiva 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gateshead Talmudical College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
