A public announcement emphasizing the importance of joining Agudath Israel: ”In our generation when millions of our brothers perished…(and) the centers of Torah destroyed…Eretz Israel is the center of Torah-true Jewry and to where the eyes of Israel turn. Here, new centers of Torah were established and tens of thousands of religious Jewish survivors settled from all over the world. Yet on the other hand, those who have conspired to dismantle the yoke of Torah from themselves, also wish to strip thousands of young people and our Holy Land from inherent holiness. It is the need of the hour to organize all religious Jews into a strong public force to influence all sectors back to religious values and especially to educate the youth with Torah… By joining Agudath Israel you will strengthen the soul of the nation…and its future…on the basis of the Torah.”
