Welcome to the Agudath Israel of America National Orthodox Jewish Archive
The National Orthodox Jewish Archives were organized and maintained for many years by Rabbi Moshe Kolodny, our Archivist Emeritus. Currently, the Archives are under the auspices of the archive staff. The recordings on this website are mainly due to the work of Mr. Joseph Aszknazy, a key part of our digitizing project, and our sponsor, Sheryl Levy and family in memory of Benny Levy. The learning and inspiration should be in his memory.
We will continue to digitize documents, photos and recordings, adding new sections to the archive. Thank you to Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Cohen, who sponsored the digitization of many of the archive’s documents. The documents will be uploaded to a future version of the website.
We invite you to immerse yourself in the great Agudah events and moments such as the Siyum Hashas of Daf Yomi, Agudah Conventions, dinners, and special events. Delve into our archive and learn more!
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at archive@agudah.org.
