For the first time, thousands of historic recordings and publications from Orthodox Jewish life in America are just a click away. The new online archive, https://agudaharchive.org/, makes decades of Torah leadership, community events, and Jewish thought accessible to students, families, and researchers everywhere.

The site launches with more than 3,000 digitized audio and video recordings dating back to 1966, including Siyumei HaShas, conventions, Yemei Iyun, Yarchei Kallah, and other pivotal gatherings. It also features the complete archives of The Jewish Observer and Dos Yiddishe Vort. With its user-friendly design and advanced search tools, visitors can browse curated collections or search by keyword. Registered users can even favorite recordings and create their own private collections.

“The treasures to be found here are astonishing,” said Rabbi Labish Becker, Executive Director of Agudath Israel of America, who also oversees the archival work. “The voices of gedolim, rabbonim, askonim, and community leaders—past and present—are now preserved and accessible for future generations.”

This achievement reflects the vision and dedication of individuals who understood the importance of preserving history. Rabbi Moshe Kolodny, founder of the archives, devoted decades to building the collection, while Mr. Yossi Aszknazy spent thousands of hours digitizing recordings now available online.

The website was generously sponsored in memory of Benny Levy by Sheryl Levy and family. May the learning and inspiration drawn from these resources serve as a lasting merit for his neshamah. Additional sponsorship by Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Cohen has enabled the ongoing digitization of archival documents, which will be added in future phases of the website.
