The Telšiai Yeshiva, a branch of the Žemaičių Museum "Alka," is housed in the historic building of the Telšiai Jewish Higher Education School. It serves as an important center for preserving and promoting Jewish cultural heritage. This museum space narrates the history of the Telšiai Yeshiva and the local Jewish community, drawing on the memories of Holocaust survivors.

The museum features a modest yet highly significant collection of Judaica preserved by the Žemaičių Museum "Alka." Visitors can explore household items, religious artifacts, and documentary materials that showcase the richness and traditions of Jewish culture. Educational programs invite visitors to learn about the history of Litvaks, Judaism traditions, and aspects of Jewish daily life, fostering dialogue and historical awareness.
