 The first full-time instructor of Talmud at the yeshiva was Rabbi David Sanders (rabbi), who was brought out from the Telz yeshiva in the United States to teach the young students Talmud in the traditional style of the Lithuanian yeshivas—of the non-Hasidic Jews.He in turn helped to bring Rabbi Avraham Tanzer, also an alumnus of the Telz yeshiva in the U.S., to teach at the yeshiva.Eventually Rabbi Tanzer was appointed the Rosh yeshivah ("dean") of the school, a position which he has retained.
