A resolution expressing approval of the stand adopted by the Agudath Israel organization in Israel to remain outside the government coalition, was adopted at a national conference of delegates of Agudath Israel branches from all parts of the country, which closed here tonight.
The resolution condemned the leadership of Poale Agudath Israel for accepting a ministerial post in the reshuffled Israeli Cabinet. “Continued persistance in defying the will of the world’s acknowledged Rabbinic authorities must result in the public expulsion of the Poale Agudath Israel leadership from the movement,” the resolution declares. (See Page 1 for withdrawal story.)
Other resolutions called upon the American Agudath Israel Organization to sponsore fifty new religious schools for immigrant children in Israel during the next six months.
