Dynasty link
The charity's name refers to Agudas Israel World Organisation. The register names no Hasidic dynasty. The only link to Sanz-Klausenburg is that its trustee Rabbi David Halpern is also a trustee of Friends of Mosdos Sanz of Safad.[1][2] That shared trusteeship does not establish any connection between this charity and the dynasty.
