The new demand infuriating haredi yeshivas
The Israeli Tax Authority is demanding that haredi yeshivas provide statements and documents regarding their students' enlistment status. This requirement is now a condition for donors to receive tax credits, causing significant frustration within the haredi community.
The new policy has sparked concerns among yeshiva leaders, who view it as an intrusive measure that could affect funding and support for their institutions. The move has intensified the ongoing discussions about the relationship between state regulations and religious education in Israel.
