Texas Torah Institute, in Dallas, TX, was founded in 2003 by a group of local parents, rabbis and lay leaders. Dallas was thriving with all of the components of a desirable Jewish community, with the exception of a traditional boys’ Yeshiva. Local parents were interested in this type of education for their sons, and were reluctant to send them away from home or to move out of Dallas. The Rabbinic and lay leadership felt that the community had grown large enough to open a Yeshiva in Dallas to serve the local students and students from smaller communities in the Southwest.
