Yeshiva Gedola of Carteret (Hebrew: ישיבה תפארת יהודה אריה) informally, "YGOC", also called Yeshiva Tiferes Yehuda Aryeh, is a yeshiva and non-profit organization located in Carteret in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States. ==History== The Yeshiva was founded in 2006 by Rabbis Azriel Brown and Yaakov Mayer, both graduates of Yeshiva of Far Rockaway, the Mir yeshiva in Jerusalem, and Yeshivas Ner Yisroel of Baltimore.〔Green, Miriam. "Catapaulted to Carteret: Detour to destiny". ''Binah'' Pesach supplement, 11 April 2011, pp. 24–29. Retrieved 5 September 2011.〕 With the backing of Rabbi Aharon Feldman, Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, and Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetzky, among others, Rabbis Brown and Mayer decided to open a yeshiva in the suburban north Jersey town of Carteret. Carteret had previously boasted a Jewish community with two synagogues in the 1950s but whose Jewish presence had dwindled since then, to the point that it was no longer able to support the remaining synagogue, a Jewish Community Center, which closed in 2002. Mr. Garson Gruhin, a remaining board member of the Jewish Community Center who worked to preserve Jewish life in Carteret, arranged to transfer the former synagogue building and an adjoining five-bedroom Rabbi's residence to the Yeshiva.〔 In 2014 Rabbi Heshy Fireworker became the Mashgiach of the Yeshiva. Rabbi Fireworker is a talmid of Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn, Ner Israel of Baltimore, and Rav Tzvi Kaplan's Yeshiva in Yerushalayim. The yeshiva opened in September 2006 with 14 students. Initially, Brown's wife Donya and Mayer's wife Chani handled the food preparation and bookkeeping for the fledgling institution, and each family hosted all the students in their home for one Shabbat meal. As enrollment grew and the students began staying in the Yeshiva full-time, the Browns and Mayers took an active role in each student's education, personal growth, helped them with shidduchim (marriage proposals), and even hosted their sheva brachot (festive meals held during the week after the wedding).〔 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「Yeshiva Gedola of Carteret」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
