Executive chairman
Rabbi Pinhas Levin (who
also heads the Beth Jacob
Orthodox Girls School net-
work) urged the creation
of a streamlined umbrella
group that would provide
for ongoing coordination
between the Israeli, Amer-
ican and European sec-
tions of the Executive.

Among the other propos-
als Rahhi Levin made was
one calling for the establish-
ment of an Aguda news
service. He also said Aguda
must invest more money
and effort in its publishing
enterprises.

Shlomo Klagshald, head
of Aguda in Belgium, in-
veighed against the absence
of a "change of guard" proc-
ess in Israel's Aguda leader-
ship. In the Belgian branch,
he said, the old guard al-
ways voluntarily introduced
newer blood into the leader-
ship ranks. He also criti-
cized the intense factional-
ism prevalent in the Israeli
party.

In a closed session of the
Executive, American
Rabbi Elhanan Sorotzkin,
head of the Telz Yeshiva at
Cleveland, Ohio, report-
edly attacked the Council
of Sages — several of
whose members were pre-
sent at the session. Rabbi
Sorotzkin, who is a mem-
ber of the (separate)
American Council of
Sages, intimated that the
Israeli Council suffered

from disunity which
marred its authority and
effectiveness.
A number of resolutions
were adopted. One reaf-
firmed .Aguda's commit-
ment to submit every
weighty political or reli-
gious issue to the decision of
the Sages. In other resolu-
tions, the Executive called
On all Jews abroad to settle
in Israel and to encourage
other Jews to do so, and all

were called upon to join

Other resolutions pledged
to found new Aguda centers
in South America, France,
Switzerland and Belgium,
and to "strengthen existing
centers."

Defending the system,
Knesseter Yehuda Meir
Abramowitz (who heads the
Gerrer Hasidic faction in
Israeli .Aguda) noted that all
Israeli political parties suf-
fered from factionalism
which was not always avoid-
able.
