History

The school began as a pair of buildings housing the elementary grades, on 43rd street between 13th and 14th Avenue, and a separate building blocks away housing the high school, all in the lower end of Boro Park.

Decades later, the 3 buildings were consolidated into a single building, a mile away.

In the year 2000, the school relocated to its present location at 1904 Avenue N, Brooklyn, NY 11230.^[1]

Student population

The backgrounds of students changed from "the 1940s..." when "Rabbi Schwartz assumed leadership of Torah Emes."^[3][4] The growing presence of Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union within Brooklyn added to the yeshiva, and he helped with "the many challenges they faced."^[5][6]

High school

The high school's historical Kamenitz name^[7] has been augmented to include the name Joseph S. Gruss.^[8]

Elementary school

References to the elementary school use Yeshiva Toras Emes.^[9] Rabbi Elias Schwartz served "over 50 years"^[10] as the dean/Hebrew principal of the yeshiva, beginning in its early (Boro Park) years.
