Biographical notes:

Agudat Israel held its founding convention in Kattowitz in 1912. It is a Jewish organization which seeks to preserve Orthodoxy by adherence to halakhah as the principle governing Jewish life and society. Poʻale Agudat Yiśraʼel was founded in 1922 as a religious labor movement dedicated to building the Land of Israel according to the Torah. It was originally an offshoot of Agudat Israel, but became an independent organization in 1960.

Agudat Israel is an Orthodox Jewish organization founded in Poland in 1912. Originally opposed to Zionism, the members of Agudat Israel agreed to support the Jewish state after David Ben Gurion yielded an influential role to the Orthodox rabbinate within an otherwise largely secular government.
