Pacific Torah Institute
The Pacific Torah Institute or PTI was an all-male Orthodox Jewish yeshiva high school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The school was an affiliate of the Rabbinical Seminary of America or Chofetz Chaim yeshiva. The school was the only all-male yeshiva high school in the Pacific Northwest or Western Canada.[1] The school was started in 2003 with 16 students in grades 8–10.
PTI was headed by three deans: Rabbi Noam Abramchik, Rabbi Aaron Kamin, and Rabbi Avi Mandel. Rabbi Shalom Meltzer and Rabbi Doniel Spector assisted the deans in their teaching. Academic studies were directed by Mr Sandy Wohl (principal) and taught by a staff of four teachers. In 2010 Rabbi Zev Davidowitz joined the PTI staff, departing in 2016, and in 2014 PTI welcomed a new Rabbi, Rabbi Doniel Spector. PTI closed down in 2019, merging Bais Medrash with the Las Vegas branch, Mesivta Las Vegas.[2]
