Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Tuesday sent a letter to the Labor Ministry stating that daycare subsidies for avreichim up to the age of 27 who are eligible for IDF recruitment will be halted at the end of the month.
The halt of daycare subsidies for the families of avreichim is a huge blow, potentially leading to a loss of thousands of shekels each month.
Last year, Baharav-Miara decided that funding daycare for the babies and toddlers of Chareidi families whose fathers are eligible for the draft is “illegal” despite the fact that Arab-Israeli mothers whose husbands are criminals in prison receive daycare subsidies due to a law requiring that only the womanโs income be calculated without regard to her husbandโs income.
In November 2024, UTJ MK Yisrael Eichler tried to advance the “daycare law,” a bill which bases daycare subsidies solely on the employment status of the mother. However, the bill was removed from the agenda when it became clear that it lacked a majority to pass in the Knesset due to opposition from members of the Likud, Religious Zionism, and New Hope.
Meanwhile, the IDF is slated to issue another 1,212 arrest warrants to bnei yeshivos who failed to respond to their draft orders after previously issuing 1,242. It is also slated to send another 14,000 draft orders to bnei yeshivos in the coming weeks.

no end to the war the Zionists have on yeshivas and avreichim
An idea – if the Avreichim are arrested on account of dodging the draft, won’t they be considered prisoners, with the result that then only the mother’s income will be taken into account? The refua before the maka!
an Israeli Yid
Great job AG
Take money away from religious Jews for learning Torah and give it to Hamas for the “humanitarian aid” for “innocent civilians”
That mean Avrechim do not qualify for “humanitarian aid” and are not “innocent civilians”
How low can someone get.
But the Avrechim are not worried, you NEVER loose learning Torah amd doing the will of Hashem. On the other hand if you don’t do the will of Hashem……
