MTA--The Historical Dimension

The history of MTA began nearly eighty-five years ago with the ambitious challenge of introducing an American educational system to a largely immigrant community of New York Jews. The resulting school, now known as The Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy (TMSTA), traces its roots back nearly a century to the amalgamation of two modest yeshivot on the Lower East Side. Since that time, it has served as a model for countless Yeshiva high schools in the metropolitan area. Firmly rooted in the doctrine of Torah U'Maddah, YUHS aimed to harmonize traditional Judaic ideals with the notion that secular scholarship was an essential factor relevant to the endurance of Orthodoxy in America.
