The Poale Agudah, labor branch of the Orthodox Agudas Israel World Organization, today announced its independence by becoming a separate party. The group elected a five-member council headed by the famous Gerer Rebbe, and including other world-famous figures in Jewish Orthodox life.
(In London, the executive of the Poale Agudah of Great Britain approved the world Poale Agudah decision not to participate in the recent Agudas Israel World Congress in Jerusalem. The executive, welcoming the establishment of an Agudah Laborite rabbinical authority, expressed confidence that the Orthodox workers’ movement would make progress independently of the Agudah organization.)
