The High Court of Justice has reportedly ruled that Torah learners (yeshiva students) are ineligible for the state-subsidized 'Price for Homeseeker' (Machir Le'Mishkane) housing lottery program, which offers discounted apartments. The reported decision comes amid a broader policy push to limit benefits for those exempt from military service.
Unverified reports from a Hebrew-language source indicate that the High Court of Justice has ruled to exclude Torah learners (yeshiva students) from the 'Price for Homeseeker' (Machir Le'Mishkane) subsidized housing lottery program. The reported decision would bar this population from participating in the program, which offers discounted apartments to eligible first-time homebuyers. The Zioneer previously reported (June 16) that TheMarker covered a government policy push to limit eligibility for such benefits to those who perform military service. The details of the High Court's ruling remain unconfirmed, and the source is a single unsourced post. The Zioneer is monitoring for further details.
