"Ironically, two out of the three items that this chassidic giant cited as 
the biggest accomplishments of his lifework are directly linked to Rav Hirsch:  
Agudath  Israel and Bais Yaakov."
>>I know you didn’t mean it, but the first time  I read this, I thought you 
were saying that the Imrei Emes was taking credit  for an accomplishment that 
belonged to someone else. I’m sure you just meant  that both men (among others, 
 too) were heavily involved in these  endeavors.<< 



>>>>>
I didn't write the line you cite, I merely quoted it from the Mishpacha  
article.  I probably should post a clarification in avodah:  the  entire Mishpacha 
article makes it clear that Hirsh laid the groundwork for both  the Agudah 
and the Bais Yakov movement, but neither actually came into being in  Hirsch's 
life time.

getting himself a bigger stick.  --Mark Steyn
