Administrative/biographical history:: This was established in 1890 on the initiative of the trustee of the Odessa Educational District to replace the Nikolaev Talmud-Torah (closed in 1889). It was financed by korobka [kosher meat tax] funds and by the city budget (tuition was instituted in 1917). The school had a five-year curriculum, and it operated workshops in which students received training in various crafts. It was liquidated in 1920 in connection with a reorganisation of the education system.
