    At the helm of the Agudah - the Moetzes as the driving force behind America's leading Orthodox movement, and the guide of it's phenomenal growth and achievements.The she'aris ha'pilaitah - the few lucky survivors. Not only the pitiful remnants of European Jewry that survived the destruction of the Holocaust, but also the small group of determined Yidden who clung to authentic Torah Judaism despite the fierce waves of assimilation and abandonment of mitzvos that swept through the Jewish communities all around them. These brave souls were determined not only to survive, but to rebuild the vibrant life of real Yiddishkeit once again, even on these treife shores of the "goldene medina". There were tremendous hurdles to overcome, challenges at every step along the way, and they needed clear and true Torah guidance for them to get the job done. From it's very inception as an organization under the dynamic leadership of a passionate and unstoppable R'  Elimelech "Mike" Tress, the Agudah faced battles of huge proportions wherever they turned. Come on board to hear about the amazing journey, as the fledgling, young organization headed by a few determined individuals and guided by our Gedolim created a veritable revolution on the American scene, one which we all live with and enjoy each and every day!
