Agudah: I don’t know what Klal Yisroel would do without you from saving Shechita in America, to saving mitzitza b’peh at brissim & especially for saving the klal millions of dollars on tuition! Yasher Koach!
I’m old enough to remember what the Agudah did for yeshiva students during the Vietnam war when many congessmen wanted to limit the draft exemption for seminary students. Saved hundreds of bachurim from being drafted. The Agudah organizations in each country where it operates accomplishes golas that are current in that country, quietly and without fanfare. All they ask from Klal Yisroel is recognition and appreciation.
