“The recently held world congress of the Agudath Israel World Organization in Jerusalem will serve as a major turning point in the struggle of Orthodoxy to preserve its traditional character,” Rabbi Morris Sherer, executive vice-president of the American Agudath Israel Organization, declared upon his arrival today from Israel where he attended the international conclave as one of the 125-person American delegation.
Rabbi Sherer reported that the American delegation played a vital role in reaching the compromise solution on organizational structure for the Agudist world movement, whereby the policy-making level is decentralized in three world centers, while the executive arm will primarily function out of Jerusalem.
