The board hired Reb Shraga Feivel for just six months on a trial basis instead of a year, as they had done with all the previous principals, and if they weren't satisfied, they could fire him.

He imbued one with pride to study Torah, and that nothing in this world could compare to Torah study." They began to keep mitzvos not out of habit but out of deep feeling. He tried - and succeeded - in making Torah study beloved to them, and in giving them the feeling of closeness to Hashem. Rav Nesanel Quinn, a student who had arrived the year before and later became principal of Jewish studies in the yeshiva, recounts, "In the first days after he came to the yeshiva, even the worst students began to feel more positive about their Jewish studies.

A series of illnesses that struck him didn't allow him to take the job until Elul 1923, when he was appointed to teach the eighth grade class. He was certain that the Torah could only be learned, if taught by frum teachers. Many of the teachers were not shomrei Torah and mitzvos, a very sore spot in the side of Rav Shraga Feivel, and added to his hesitancy of joining the school. Rav Shraga Feivel, realizing that his business enterprises were failing, in the summer of 1921, after being pursued by various members of the board, he finally agreed to take a teaching job at Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, which at the time was a "talmud Torah" rather than a yeshiva. He was way ahead of his times the public was not interested for the most part in their message, and the paper folded leaving them deep in debt. The intent was to inform the Jewish public about the awareness of their heritage, shmiras hamitzvas, the importance of keeping the kashruth laws and they wanted to give their secular brothers an alternative to The Forward (and The Workmen's Circle/Bund). Rav Shraga Feivel was a lover of Jewish liturgical music he and chazzan Yossele Rosenblatt became friends and together created The Jewish Light (Dos Yiddishe Licht) newspaper. However, his business was not succeeding as planned, possibly because his head was more in his Torah studies than in ice cream. He dreamed of succeeding in his business and with the funds, opening his own yeshiva. Although he still dreamed of opening a yeshiva, he had discovered that in the U.S., all the power was concentrated in the hands of a talmud Torah's president and board of directors, and the principal and teachers were viewed as merely low level servants.
