hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Not to be confused with Agudath Israel of America (Agudas Yisroel) or the Orthodox Union (Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America). The Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada (UOR), often called by its Hebrew name, Agudat Harabanim or Agudas Harrabonim ("union of rabbis"), was established in 1901/1902 in the United States and is among the oldest organizations of Orthodox rabbis which could be described as having a Haredi worldview. It had been for many years the principal group for such rabbis, though in recent years it has lost much of its former membership and influence. It was formed in direct consequence to Solomon Schechter's takeover of the formerly-Orthodox Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Within 100 days of Schechter's appointment, the Union formed and issued a statement critical of JTS and Schechter. They rejected any future graduate of JTSA. Agudath Harabonim was also an answer to the Orthodox Union (OU), which had formed five years earlier. There were two distinct groups within the American Orthodox rabbinate: the Europeans and the American-born. The Americans were English-speakers, often had a secular education, and competed with Reform (and later Conservative) movements for the heart of the modern American Jew. European transplants were often Yiddish-speaking with limited English skills, trained exclusively in rabbinics, and would be termed Haredi today, and had a stronger affinity to the entire body of religious texts; they were there to maintain standards. Though there were American scholars trained in the European path, and Europe an schools that supported secular scholarship, most rabbis belonged to one camp or the other. To the Europeans, the OU and its later affiliated Rabbinical Council of America, were a notch down in erudition, and perhaps a bit lax in religious law. Depending on where the Americans studied and how they were brought up, their credentials were also subject to question. The European set needed a fellowship to promote its ideas and raise its political capital, and the Agudath Harabanim served that need. While not entirely antagonistic to the OU, the Agudath Harabonim clearly had a diverging agenda. One area where the OU leadership and the Agudath leadership cooperated was on kosher supervision. The Agudath Harabonim initially started raising standards in New York and elsewhere, but had some trouble getting the butchers and shochtim in line. Mendes and his OU brethren in New York lent them assistance in this area. Among the well-known leaders from the Agudath Harabonim's past are Rabbis Eliezer Silver and Moshe Feinstein. In recent years, the organization has been under the direction of Rabbi Tzvi Meir Ginsberg. Almost form the start, the Agudath Harabonim had critics among the Yiddish-speaking Rabbis as well. In particular, Rabbi Gavriel Wolf "Velvel" Margolis felt that the Union was too lax in some areas of kashruth, too exclusive, and too interfering in the kashruth work he had been hired to do by his congregation. He founded a competing organization, the Knesseth Harabonim (Assembly of Hebrew Orthodox Rabbis). Evidence of the Knesseth exists starting around 1920, but a Knesseth convention claims that it had existed for some years previously; in any event, it had not been a successful organization prior to 1920. Several public relations wars broke out between Knesseth and Agudath in the 1920s. Many of them were about competing claims of laxity in meat supervision, wine supervision, or legitimacy of import and licensing of sacramental wine during Prohibition. However, both organizations worked on social issues of the day that affected Jews, and on the improvement of rabbinical life for their members. A third, less-active group was the Council of Orthodox Rabbis (Degel Harabanim). It may have merged with Knesseth shortly after its founding.
