| - Elimelech Gavriel Tress, Elimelekh Gavri’el Tress, auch „Mike“ Tress genannt (* 1909 in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten; † 9. Juli 1967 in New York City), war ein US-amerikanischer ultraorthodoxer Rabbiner. Tress war der Sohn eines Immigranten und in den Vereinigten Staaten geboren. Ohne Ausbildung zum Rabbiner wurde er später aufgrund seiner einflussreichen Tätigkeit als Reb Elimelech betitelt, bekannt war er auch unter seinem Spitznamen Mike. Vor und während des Zweiten Weltkrieges gründete er verschiedene Jugendorganisationen, um der Assimilation entgegenzuwirken. Tress war viele Jahre Präsident der „Agudath Israel of America“ und verhalf der Union, zu einer der größten politischen, kommunalen und kulturellen Repräsentanz der Orthodoxie seiner Zeit in den Vereinigten Staaten zu werden, die nicht der zionistischen Misrachi-Bewegung angehörten. Er leitete die Organisation bis zu seinem Tode, sein Nachfolger wurde Moshe Sherer. Um die Agudath Israel zu finanzieren und Juden bei der Flucht aus Europa zu verhelfen, gab er sein Unternehmen als Geschäftsmann auf und verwendete sein Vermögen hierfür. Tress rettete durch sein Engagement vielen europäischen Juden zur Zeit des Holocaust das Leben. Sein Biograf ist der ultra-orthodoxe Publizist , dessen Werk z. T. auf Forschungen des Historikers David Kranzler beruht. Ihm zu Ehren wird von der Agudath Israel der Reb Elimelech Tress Memorial Award verliehen. (de)

Before and during the Second World War, he founded various youth organizations to counteract assimilation. Tress was President of Agudath Israel of America for many years, helping the Union to become one of the greatest political, communal, and cultural representations of the Orthodoxy of its time in the United States. He led the organization until his death; his successor became Moshe Sherer. To finance Agudath Israel and help Jews escape from Europe, he gave up his career as a businessman and used his fortune to do so. Tress rescued many European Jews at the time of the Holocaust through his engagement. His biographer is the journalist and spokesperson Jonathan Rosenblum, whose work is based in part on research by historian David Kranzler. In his honor, Agudath Israel awards the Reb Elimelech Tress Memorial Award. (en)
