Agudath Israel Statement on Expected Release of Hostages 


Agudath Israel of America welcomes the news that 50 women and children of the approximately 240 hostages brutally kidnapped and held by Hamas for the past six weeks are expected to be freed in the coming days. We have made their safe release an important and necessary part of our advocacy work since October 7, and the focus of our prayers beseeching the Almighty for His mercies.


As Americans, we deeply thank the United States for its leading role and hard work with other parties in helping to bring about this result.

Florida Legislative Session


During the recent special session in Florida, Rabbi Moshe Matz, director of Agudah's Florida Office, was invited to a special closed-door meeting with the Florida senate and the Israeli consul general to Florida for briefing about the situation in Israel. Rabbi Matz gave opening remarks and a prayer before the meeting's agenda began. As part of the meeting's agenda, the senate watched unedited footage of the initial Hamas attacks of October 7; the shock and horror in the room was audible. The senate unanimously expressed their support for Israel and committed to doing everything in their power to aid Israel, release the hostages, and protect the Jewish community. Following the briefing the senate president presented Rabbi Matz with a gift to show appreciation for what Rabbi Matz does for Florida.

Agudath Israel Statement on Expected Release of Hostages continued:


At the same time, Agudath Israel is cognizant that there is much more to be done. Israel must be free of the Hamas threat and the remaining hostages must be let go. 


We will continue to turn in prayer to the Almighty, to encourage the United States to remain steadfast in its moral and material support of Israel, and to do everything in our power to strengthen and safeguard our brothers and sisters -- in Israel, at home, and abroad -- in the face of the manifold dangers they are confronting and the scourge of antisemitism.

May Hashem heed our tefillos - and may we share besuros tovos.
