According to a report from ynet, Yair Lapid is submitting a new Arrangements Law to Knesset that offers to subsidize all Chareidi schools that teach between 55% and 75% of the core curriculum.
I.e. they can teach Kodesh for no more than 25% – 45% of the day and still get subsidies.
While recognising this is not the most generous of offers, beggars can’t be choosers. This system isn’t that different to that operated here in England, and, I bet, in USA too, where only part of the day is spent in Kodesh and part in Chol.
Of course, this offer will inevitably be vehemently opposed by the Chareidim in Eretz Yisroel, despite the irony that they are in greater need of education than the diaspora Jews.
Do you think anyone will take it up?
