		Agudath Israel further calls upon the purveyors of popular culture to recognize the enormous responsibility that goes along with their right to freedom of expression, and to refrain from glorifying violence, promiscuity and other forms of anti-social behavior.
		Agudath Israel further questions whether it is meaningful to speak of "voluntary" public school prayer; sensitive and impressionable children from minority faith backgrounds may feel unduly pressured to join their classmates in a religious exercise foreign to their own tradition.
		Agudath Israel was a strong supporter of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage for purposes of federal law as it has always been understood -- the solemnized union between man and woman -- and allows states not to accord recognition to same-sex unions that are deemed "marriages" in other states.

		The defining characteristic of anti-Zionism is therefore opposition to the existence of the State of Israel, a state which was created as a result of the activities of the Zionism movement between 1897 and 1948.
		This debate is complicated by two further factors: the habit of genuine anti-Semites of using the term "Zionist" as a synonym and/or euphemism for "Jew," and the tendency for radical Islamist elements to use the rhetoric of traditional European anti-Semitism.
		Since Israel was emerging as a close Western ally and the specter of Zionism raised fears of internal dissent and opposition, during the Cold War Soviet Jews were classed as possible traitors.

		Agudath Israel’s traditional advocacy role –representing the interests of Orthodox Jewry to the city, state, and federal governments– has long suffered from a chronic conflict-of-interest with its communal service role.
		Agudath Israel’s primary task was not to allow foreign interests to creep into the Orthodox community and dilute its traditions and values.

		This criticism appears to be particularly contrived in light of the nature of the function at which Rabbi Lamm delivered his oration, an event devoted not to provision of a candid reckoning of the relative contributions to Orthodoxy made by its warring factions but to recognition of the educational objectives and historical legacy of RIETS.
		It would seem to us quite preposterous if this less than striking omission were to serve as the impetus for a volley of vitriol against Agudath Israel by the leadership of Yeshiva University as we understand that Agudah conventions are not conducted with the objective of extolling "modern" Orthodoxy for its accomplishments.
		It charges that Agudath Israel has suffered an abject moral failure that renders it a defective interlocutor in the pursuit of credible Orthodox reconciliation.

		Agudath Israel has never supported any legislation that would totally ban abortion, or that would provide a fetus the status of a born child - which could jeopardize the right to abortion in those rare cases where Judaism might require it.

	Senate Committee on the Judiciary Hearing - D. Zwiebel - 6/06/01
		For the past quarter-century or so, Agudath Israel, among its various other activities, has sponsored a variety of social service projects, most of them in New York City, running the gamut from employment training and placement to housing and neighborhood stabilization, from mentoring programs for at-risk youth to visitation programs for homebound and institutionalized seniors.
		At that time, Agudath Israel was slated to enter into a number of social service contracts with the city, including contracts that funded after-school activities for youths.
		That is why Agudath Israel strongly supports the provision in the existing charitable choice laws, and in the proposed expansion of those laws, that allows religious charities to retain their identities and policies.

	The "Aguddat Israel" Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the early 20th century, Aguddat Israel ("the Israelite union") was established as the political arm of traditional Orthodoxy, representing a wide range of anti-modern branches who were not ready to accept the cultural openness of Hirsch's Neo-Orthodoxy.
		Active in the Aguddah were several Hasidic groups, alongside advocates of Lithuanian-style yeshivahs, and even a Labour wing that called for the establishment of strictly religious agricultural settlements in Palestine, outside the framework of the Zionist movement.
		Owing to the nature of Israel's proportional representation system, the relatively small numbers of Aguddat Israel representatives has often been crucial to the survival of government coalitions, and hence they have very effective in channeling resources towards their yeshivahs and other institutions.

		The labor market in communities located on the socio-economic periphery of Israel is unstable and characterized by labor-intensive employment and low wages: according to the National Insurance Institute, in 1995 an average of 44% of wage earners residing in development towns received the minimum wage or less (Adva Center, 1998).
		Agudath Israel was opposed to Zionism, and it remained aloof from the institutional structure erected by Zionism in Palestine.
		In 1998, this system, sponsored by Agudath Israel, was comprised of 140 elementary schools employing 4,200 teachers and enrolling 50,198 pupils (Ministry of Finance, Budget Proposal for Fiscal Year 1998 and Explanatory Notes, Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports, 1997: 211).

		But Reform, Conservative and Orthodox leaders in the United States do seem to agree that with Israel locked in a cycle of violence with the Palestinians, now is not the time for a protracted and divisive Knesset battle over religious pluralism.
		But they cautioned that since the decision does not require Israel's Chief Rabbinate, which is Orthodox, to allow Reform and Conservative converts to marry other Jews or be buried in Jewish cemeteries, the ruling is only a symbolic first step.
		"What you're going to have in Israel is everyone is going to have to carry a family tree to prove their grandmother, great-grandmother, was born of a Jewish mother or converted," Ganchrow said.

	Trembling Before G-d
		Orthodox Jewish homosexuals are the subject of a documentary film that achieved darlinghood at a number of film festivals over the past year and has now been similarly well-received at its New York debut.
		One of those rabbis, Rabbi Aharon Feldman, currently the dean of Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, says that the film fails to convey the deep compassion with which thoughtful Orthodox Jews regard those who are challenged with a homosexual orientation.
		The film, he asserts, "makes us appear to be narrow and bigoted" when, in fact, "it is compassion, albeit without condoning" that accurately describes Orthodoxy's attitude toward homosexuality.

		The Agudath Israel movement is not Zionist, at least not in the contemporary sense of the word.
		But Agudath Israel has always regarded secular Jewish nationalism to be a threat to the Jewish mission and to Jews' safety.
		As a result, many of the rabbinic leaders at Agudath Israel's helm after the Second World War opposed the establishment of a Jewish state, and Agudath Israel's theological stance remains that the true Jewish commonwealth will only be established with the arrival of the Messiah.

		The group consisted mainly of lay leaders and rabbis active in Agudath Israel and Young Israel.
		Rabbi Moshe Sherer, the head of the delegation and president of Agudath Israel of America, said it was inconceivable an individual undergoing the conversion process within the Reform movement could be expected to follow halachah, or Jewish law.

		Determined to use the state to build a network of religious educational and social institutions, Agudath Israel and later on, other religious parties, like the Sephardic ultra-orthodox party Shas, entered the government to compete effectively for funding and power.
		Hence, even before the establishment of the State of Israel, David Ben Gurion proposed that a certain proportion of yeshiva students should be exempted from army service.
		Although the Israeli economy sustains large losses caused by the absence of the ultra-Orthodox from the labor market and by the necessary extension of army service for non-Haredim, the greatest damage to the economy is caused by an ultra-Orthodox educational system which does not prepare the young men for work.

	Time for Agudath Israel to Live Up To Its Commitment to the Pollard Case
		It is surprising that as Director of Public Affairs for Agudath Israel, you are unaware that more than a decade ago the Agudah officially adopted the position that the plight of Jonathan Pollard is the mitzvah of pidyan shvuyim (redemption of a captive), which is obligatory for all Jews.
		The previous President of Agudath Israel, the late Rabbi Moshe Sherer z"l, was devoted to the mitzvah of pidyan shvuyim for Jonathan Pollard.
		In light of the foregoing, it is apparent that the assertion that Agudath Israel is secretly working behind the scenes for Jonathan Pollard's release is not credible.

		Consequently, it would have been odd for Rabbi Weiss, in the tshuva cited by Rabbi Blau, to have held a bankruptcy discharge halachically ineffective without mentioning the Rema or the Shach or stating that the law was not for the benefit of the people of the land.
		Rabbi Chaim iben Israel Benveniste, a seventeenth century authority, ruled that wherever there is a dispute among halachic authorities as to whether dina d'malchusa dina applies, the party who is muchzach can say kim li that dina d'malchusa dina applies.
		At a seminar for lawyers sponsored by Agudath Israel of America, Rabbi Feivel Cohen reported the unwritten view of Rabbi Auerbach that a bankruptcy discharge is not halachically valid.
