165 Henry Street, formerly the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, ca. 1980.

Founded in 1903, the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School is a modern-day Orthodox Jewish school, also known as a yeshiva. The institution was named after Rabbi Jacob Joseph, the chief rabbi of New York City's Association of American Orthodox Hebrew Congregations. Hundreds of rabbis and community leaders have attended this school. It saw its most productive years between the 1940s and the 1960s. In 1976, the institution relocated to the Richmond area of Staten Island, where it continues to teach its rigorous Talmudic curriculum to students from nursery age through the twelfth grade.
