History

Though Beth Medrash Elyon closed in the 1970s for a period of time due to disagreements among the leaders of the yeshiva, it was subsequently reopened. It was headed by R' Don Ungarischer, the son in law of Refael Reuvain Grozovsky, until Ungarischer's death on October 30, 2011. Ungarischer's son-in-law, R' Yisroel Mordechai Falk, in turn, currently serves as Rosh Yeshiva.

Its past Roshei Yeshiva have included Rabbis Reuven Grozovsky, and Gedalia Schorr.

As of 2014, tuition was $7,800 per year, and room and board $2,800. The college used a semester calendar, and the student-to-faculty ratio was 8.[2] Almost all students received some form of financial aid, and the average grant aid to undergrads was approximately $8,000.[3]

Alumni

Among Beth Medrash Elyon's graduates are Rabbis Yisroel Belsky, J.D. Bleich, Yosef Goldman, Nosson Scherman, Moshe Leib Rabinovich (current Munkatcher Rebbe), and Brooklyn Law School Professor Aaron Twerski. Dovid Schustal studied there and his father Rabbi Simcha Schustal was the Rosh kollel.
