[1] It would not be until 1907, however, that a physical building for the Talmud Torah was built, established by Chief Rabbi Israel Isaac Kahanovitch as the Winnipeg Hebrew Free School-Talmud Torah (Winnipeg Hebrew School), located at the corner of Dufferin and Aikins in the city's North End.

[1] In 1959, Rabbi Avbraham Kravetz (1914–1962) became the new principal of the Talmud Torah, which saw exponential growth following World War II.

That year, under his leadership, the school moved to Matheson Avenue and opened Joseph Wolinsky Collegiate, offering full-day classes that include general and Judaic studies for grades 8 through 11.

[1] Beginning in two rented classrooms at Aberdeen School under the banner of the Jewish Radical School, it was established in 1914 immediately following the Jewish population's surge in Winnipeg's North End caused by anti-semitic pogroms in Russia that peaked in the 1880s.

[1] As the city's Jewish population grew, notably during the post-World War II years, many middle-class families began purchasing homes in the new suburban housing developments in the northwest area of West Kildonan (and district of the city at the time).

By the following decade, the school expanded to include satellite campuses, on Aikins Street in 1950 and Jefferson Avenue in 1956.
