Torah Umesorah, the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools, is a Haredi educational charity that supports a loosely affiliated network of private Jewish day schools across North America. It was founded in 1944, during World War II, by Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, head of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, together with other rabbis, and was the first national Jewish organization in the US to pioneer Jewish day schools. In the early 21st century some 760 day schools taught more than 250,000 children, and Torah Umesorah has established yeshivas and kollelim in every city with a significant Jewish population.
