Yeshivas Ohr HaChaim (legally known as the Institute for Advanced Talmudic Studies) is a Haredi yeshiva located in Kew Garden Hills, Queens, New York City. The yeshiva also has a kollel and an advanced and renowned rabbinical program, and operates in conjunction with its high schools, Mesivta Yesodei Yisroel and neighboring Mesivta Yesodei Yeshurun.[1] The Roshei Yeshiva are Rabbi Doniel Lander, son of Bernard Lander, and Rabbi Mordechai Krauss. The Mashgiach Ruchani (Spiritual Guidance Counselor) is noted Jewish lecturer Rabbi Mordechai Finkleman.

The yeshiva building is prominently located on Main Street in Kew Gardens Hills. The building is noted for its exterior, which is primarily made of Jerusalem stone (so named for being both common and legally required for construction in Jerusalem) imported from Israel specifically for the building.[2]
