Agudath Israel of America Community Services, Inc is the social-services affiliate of Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox Jewish umbrella and advocacy organization, and is registered separately as a 501(c)(3) per ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. It runs a Department for the Aging older adult center, including the Moriah Senior Center in Manhattan, under an active "OLDER ADULT CENTER" renewal contract ($3,387,855), and receives Department of Youth and Community Development funding for a contract whose title reads "Funds will provide literacy and digital literacy education" ($2,602,099) plus Council discretionary member-item funding ($5,583,881 across 201 awards since FY2009) from members including Kalman Yeger, James F.
