Israeli Treasury To Cut Yeshiva Student Funding By 30%

«The 30% funding cut is planned to be achieved by lowering the age that Yeshiva students are entitled to payments from the state from 28 to 22. The funding is linked to deferment of military service, and will in effect be achieved by lowering the age that yeshiva students are granted a full release from service - the reasoning being that, if the yeshiva students are released outright, they will no longer enjoy deferred status, or its funding. The move is set to take effect in August.»
