Report: Government slated to spend $33 million financing foreign yeshiva students in Israel

The Israeli government is set to spend $33 million financing the studies of overseas yeshiva students, according to a new report. The expanded budget will subsidize 15,000 foreign yeshiva students, some of whom will study in full-time seminaries for married men. These students will also be eligible for discounts on property taxes and other benefits. Critics argue that the spending bill encourages evasion and is an incentive not to work.
