Haredi MK Gafni urges Netanyahu to advance Torah study bill unchanged despite legal warnings

Haredi MK Gafni is pushing Prime Minister Netanyahu to push forward a bill that would grant Torah study students the same academic and state benefits as reservists, despite legal concerns. This bill, if enacted, could provide significant financial support to yeshiva students, aligning state benefits with religious study. The move has sparked debate over the balance between religious freedom and potential legal complications, raising questions about the government's role in religious education and its implications for national service policies.
