The Knesset's Ministerial Committee for Legislation is set to review a new bill known as the 'Basic Law: Torah Study.' Introduced by Avi Maoz, the legislation aims to recognize yeshiva students' Torah study as a form of meaningful service to the state and the Jewish people. The proposal seeks to formally establish Torah study as a foundational value and redefine long-term religious study as an alternative to traditional national service. If approved, the law would provide yeshiva students with legal recognition, exempting them from being classified as draft evaders. This move comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a separate discussion on the Draft Law, highlighting ongoing political negotiations around the issue.
