		Another longtime Agudat MK is Rabbi Shmuel Halpert, a member of the court of Vizhniz.

		Degel Hatorah and Agudat Yisrael fear that the latest political developments will see the five Knesset seats they jointly hold dwindle when the election results are published in the early morning hours of March 29.
		A breakthrough in reunification talks was achieved when Agudat Yisrael dropped demands that Degel Hatorah apologize for deciding to break away from Yehdut Hatorah, the party that united both factions before the general elections for the current Knesset.
		Agudat Yisrael placed the first condition for reunification in the form of a warning that excessive interference from Degel Hatorah rabbis, namely rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, will not be accepted.

		The stated purpose of the party, whose spiritual leader is Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and whose political leader until the Fourteenth Knesset was Arie [Der'i], is to ``return the crown to the former glory,'' and to repair the alleged continued economic and social discrimination against the Sephardic population of Israel.
		Agudat Yisrael was represented in all of the Knessets, either as an independent parliamentary, or as part of a larger unified religious bloc.
		Agudat Yisrael participated in a number of parliamentary coalitions, but mostly was not represented by ministers in the government.

		This often was sometimes the case with Agudat Yisrael until they, together with the Arabs in the knesset, cast the deciding votes for OSLO (it passed by 1 vote).
		But, even before the OSLO vote the Rebbe blasted them for voting for concessions to terrorists - the Rebbe said that the money they received for their votes is dripping with Jewish blood and, therefore, not even the toilets of yeshivot may be built with that money, let alone study halls.
		Agudat Israel is the less worst party to vote for, I suppose...

		This is a Shmitta year and the century-old arrangement to circumvent the Jewish law is in force now all over the country except in Jerusalem, where the local rabbinate is controlled by an ultra-Orthodox party, Agudat Yisrael.
		Agudat Yisrael abides by the ruling that observant Jews may eat only vegetables bought outside of the Holy Land, such as produce grown by Palestinians farmers in the Gaza Strip.
		But the Gaza vegetables are low quality and cost twice as much as the Israeli produce because of the inflated mark-up levied by the wholesaler, appointed by the local Jerusalem rabbinate, who has a monopoly of the supply to the city, said Yitzhak Kalay, director of Co-op Jerusalem, the biggest local supermarket chain.

		Agudat Yisrael sits in the government and calls for kiruv rechokim at its annual conventions.
		While in front of the Eretz Yisrael component there is a vital albeit narrow operational element which can be called the 'cutting edge' of religious Zionism and that is the act of Aliyah.
		A religious Zionist is one whose work on behalf of Eretz Yisrael, whose appreciation of the importance of Eretz Yisrael and whose commitment to Eretz Yisrael are based, in part, upon his understanding and acceptance of these three root principles.

	The Head Heeb: UTJ is in
		UTJ is a sometimes-uneasy union of two parties, the Hasidic Agudat Yisrael movement and the primarily Lithuanian Degel Hatorah (Torah Flag), and earlier reports indicated that the former wanted to join the government while the latter didn't.
		The fact that Rabbi Eliyashiv's roots are with Degel Hatorah rather than Agudat Yisrael, though, may diminish this report's credibility, and both parties are aware that they might have difficulty meeting the electoral threshold by themselves.
		In any event, Agudat Yisrael is the stronger faction in the party, and even a Degel Hatorah walkout wouldn't prevent Sharon from forming a government.

		Degel HaTorah's pre-eminent sage and guide is Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliashiv, well into his 90s, who lives in Jerusalem.
		The Agudat Yisrael faction takes its directions from the Hasidic rebbes, such as Ger, Vizhnitz, and Belz also steeped in Torah law and mysticism, who wield a lot of control over the daily lives of their followers (the "Hasidim").
		Originally the two factions were united under Agudat Yisrael, but the late mentor and supreme guide of the non-Hasidic group, Rabbi Elazar Shach decided to break away from the Hasidic wing when it was clear that they would not follow his decisions and wanted to follow their own rebbes guidance instead.

		However, barring that, he is working on a minimal agreement that the religious Zionist parties will fight legislation that could harm the interests of Hareidi Torah institutions and the Hareidi parties will fight legislation that harms the interests of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
