Gatesheadגייטסהד

Northeast England — Litvish yeshiva town

Gateshead, near Newcastle, is the heart of British Litvish Orthodoxy. The Gateshead Yeshiva (founded 1929), Gateshead Kollel (1941), and Gateshead Seminary made it the largest Torah center in postwar Europe. R. Aryeh Leib Gurwicz, R. Leib Lopian, and R. Avraham Gurwicz led the institutions through the late 20th century.
