A study of the origins and early history of the Agudat Israel movement in Germany, the first international political movement among Orthodox Jews.

This study examines the forces that led to its formation, setting its history into the context of both the millennial Jewish political tradition and the Jewish struggle with the disenchanting effects of modernity.
