Yeshiva of Telshe Alumni (or Telshe Riverdale) is a Yeshiva located in the Hudson Hill section of Riverdale, in The Bronx, New York. It was founded in the early 1980s by Rabbi Avrohom Ausband, (a grandson of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Bloch), Rabbi Yaakov Reisman, and Rabbi Yosef Chaim Libersohn, who came from Argentina for this purpose. The Yeshiva, headed by Rabbi Ausband until his death in 2024, has an enrollment of approximately two hundred.

The method of Talmudic study at the Yeshiva is based on the Rabbi Boruch Ber Lebowitz style of the Brisker method, which is known for its hair-splitting "chilukim" (conceptual Talmudic distinctions) that are often hard to grasp unless one dwells on them for many hours. This style of learning can potentially greatly limit the number of blatt in the Talmud that will be studied during each semester. The Rosh Yeshiva, referred to as Rebbi by his students, delivered a daily Gemara Shiur, with a follow-up Shiur, called huddle by the students, after evening services.
