Yeshivat Toraht Chaim in the Old City of Jerusalem, was established in 1886 by the brothers the Geonim Rabbi Yitzchak and Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Winograd and their brother-in-law Rabbi Zarach Eptsein, who saw this as a station on the way for Mashiach to build the Holy Beit Hamikdash and was therefore built in the Christian quarters which is on the way to Har HaBeit. For a certain period this was the Greatest Yeshiva of Jerusalem and hundreds of youths learned there, among them famous Roshei Yeshivot and Rabbanim: Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank, Rabbi Aryeh Levine, Rabbi Yitzchak Ariali, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, Rabbi Avraham Chaim Noah, Rabbi Asher Werner, Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Charlap, and Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliashiv and many more famous scholars of Jerusalem.
During the events of 1920 Arab rioters entered, destroyed and plundered the Yeshiva. On Shevii shel Pesach (the seventh day of Passover) the rioters set the Yeshiva building on fire destroying everything within. A few years later during the riots of 1929 the Yeshiva was severely damaged. Today the Yeshiva exists in the building of the Yeshiva ‘Ateret Kohanim’.
