Agudath Israel Legislative Breakfast 2010
The event, hosted by Agudath Israel of America and coordinated by the Friedlander Group, was held at the Broad Street Ballroom in New York City.
The Breakfast was a watershed event - both from the perspective of the activists who represent the community’s needs as well as the government representatives who expressed their solidarity with Agudah’s mission. The massive representation of prominent elected officials is testimony to the extensive role that Agudath Israel plays in public affairs
Over two dozen elected officials addressed the assembled guests, as did leaders of Agudath Israel, activists, and community members. Some of the issues that were raised were bussing for Yeshiva students, housing for the needy, social programs for seniors, job training for women, and career opportunities for the unemployed. Agudath Israel hopes to continue working together with elected officials to ensure that those services will be maintained.
