	Jewish Law - Legal Briefs ("Cruzan v. Director of Missouri Department of Health")
		The movement is led, and its policies determined, by a group of prominent senior Orthodox rabbinical figures respected broadly as outstanding scholars of Jewish law and decisors of Jewish policy.
		Agudath Israel of America's interest in this case is especially keen because it represents the first time the Court has had occasion to address some of the most fundamental questions concerning human life: its value to society, its intrinsic sanctity, its voluntary termination, its involuntary termination.
		Agudath Israel of America believes that recognition of that teaching, as expressed in the general disapprobation of suicide and euthanasia, has served as one of the pillars of civilized societies throughout the generations.

	The Future Role of Religion in Israel
		At the very least, Israel must produce an Orthodox rabbinate that is equipped to cope with the contemporary world, that is to say, rabbis who have a proper general as well as Jewish education and who know how to speak to the Israeli public.
		Agudath Israel, on the other hand, is based on the principle that the relationship between the ketarim places the Keter Torah in a dominant position as expressed through its Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah (Council of Torah Greats).
		What has been missing in Israel is a response on the part of the religious community to the current issues of Israel's foreign security and social agendas, out of their religious understanding.

	The Guardians of the City
		Eretz Israel, the Holy Land, becomes the "national home", and the State or - in former years - the striving to achieve the "Judenstaat", is also part of the general trend of secularization and transformation of the hallowed idea of Messianic redemption.
		The sources of the movement are to be sought entirely in the spiritual field; although the turmoil of the Napoleonic era may, have had some indirect bearing on the environments in which it was born.
		Agudath Israel successfully achieved the right not to be a member of the Knesseth Israel.

	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Orthodox Judaism considers all other Jewish movements to be unacceptable deviations from authentic Judaism; both because of other denominations' doubt concerning the verbal revelation of Written and Oral Torah, and because of their rejection of Halakhic (Jewish legal) precedent as binding.
		The National Council of Young Israel, and the Council of Young Israel Rabbis are smaller groups that were originally founded as Modern Orthodox organizations and are militantly Zionistic and right wing in their orientation.

	Jews by Any Other Name
		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.

	Aguddat Israel
		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.
		While they were largely hostile to Zionism as a movement, arguing that the Jews constituted a religious community defined by Torah and not a normal nation, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 makes that antagonism largely irrelevant.
		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.

		God has made an exclusive unbreakable covenant with the Children of Israel, the ancestors of the Jewish people, to be governed by the Torah.
		Religious Zionism, characterized by belief in the importance of the modern state of Israel to Judaism, often intersects with Modern Orthodoxy.
		It may be said that Orthodox Judaism, as it exists today, is an outgrowth that stretches from the time of Moses, to the time of the Mishnah and Talmud, through the oral law, and rabbinic literature ongoing until the present time.

		In March, 1997, the Agudath Ha-Rabonim issued a statement declaring that the Conservative and Reform movements are "outside of Torah and outside of Judaism." This statement has been widely publicized and widely misunderstood, and requires some response.

	S.C.J. FAQ: Section 2.7. Who We Are: What are some of the Orthodox sub-groups?
		This group tends to be "non-Zionist" in the sense that they love the land of Israel and its holiness (many spend years in Israel for Torah study), but are unenthusiastic about secular Zionism and Israeli secular culture.
		This is partially because in America, the Agudah is a communal organization that runs a number of charitable, humaniterean and outreach projects and lobbies and advocates for the rights of Torah-observant Jews and to protect and strengthen Torah observance.
		In Israel, on the other hand, 'Agudath Israel' is a political party that holds seats in the parliament.

	Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
		The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Conservative Movement's Rabbinical Assembly voted, by a narrow 13-12 vote, to permit the ordination of openly homosexual rabbis, both male and female.
		The contradiction was reconciled by explaining that individual congregations would be permitted to make their own decisions as to whether to hire such rabbis or not.
		Agudath Israel of America called the decision in favor of homosexual ordination "tragic," saying, "It will no doubt cheer those who place contemporary mores above the Jewish mandate, but in the end, it seals the fate of a movement long mired in muddle and malaise."

		Koren, disclosed to the heads of P'eylim that the whole battle of secularization on the part of the leftist government was for fear that when the chareidim established their independent institutions, all of the votes of the parents and family members would go to the religious parties.

	The "Aguddat Israel" Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Unlike the situation in Central or Western Europe, where challenges to Jewish beliefs and institutions usually led to religious and theological reform, in Eastern Europe (as well as among the Sepharadim, for the most part), Jews tended to chose between traditional religion and a broad spectrum of secular expressions of Judaism.
		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.
		In Israel they have represented the interests of the "ultra-Orthodox" constituency in the national parliament, the Kenesset.

	Kook, Avraham Yitsḥaq \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		Rabbi Avraham Yitsḥaq Kook (1865–1935) was the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of the Land of Israel in the modern era, a religious thinker and halakhic authority, and one of the prominent leaders of the New (Jewish) Settlement at the beginning of the twentieth century.
		Kook's approach to the Zionist movement was based both on his "historiosophical" religious and metaphysical worldview and on his personal experiences of direct contact with the pioneers of the second emigration.
		Unquestionably the love of the Land of Israel, settlement as part of the process of redemption, and the establishment of the state of Israel were essential elements in Rabbi Kook's vision.
