The Yeshiva Centre was established in 1956 by Rabbi Chaim Gutnick and Mr. Abraham Rabinovitch, along with a few others, as a synagogue and centre of learning for the New South Wales, Australian Jewish community. The leaders from 1956 to 1968 were Rabbi G. Herc and Rabbi C. E. Barzel. In 1968 Rabbi Pinchus Feldman accepted leadership of the Yeshiva Centre. Yeshiva Centre runs Jewish programs throughout the year for the New South Wales Jewish community, such as Hanukkah parades, model matzah bakeries, shofar factories, sukkah mobiles, and learning programs. The Yeshiva Gedola, like other Yeshiva Gedolahs is a centre for Jewish higher learning. It was officially established in 1986 by the Yeshiva Centre. It is part of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshiva network. The purpose of the Yeshiva is to promote Torah study and Mitzvah observance in the greater Sydney Jewish community. For this purpose students are recruited from other Yeshiva Gedolahs to study on a scholarship.
