High Court rules: Yeshiva students will no longer receive national insurance discount

Shilo Freid|
The High Court of Justice accepted petitions filed by "Free Israel" and the Movement for Quality Government against the continuation of discounts on national insurance payments for yeshiva students. In its ruling, the Supreme Court determined that the status of "yeshiva student" is not valid, as it has been established that there is no exemption from military service for yeshiva students. The discount on National Insurance payments amounts to tens to hundreds of shekels per month per family and approximately 100 million shekels in total for all discount recipients defined as yeshiva students, and from now on they will have to pay the full amount.
