TL;DR

In a special column on Channel 7, B'Kehila editor-in-chief Shlomo Kokh reveals that the Olam HaTorah Foundation provides monthly funding in large sums to the major national-religious yeshivas Mercaz HaRav and Har Hamor.

01 · THE DISPATCH

B'Kehila editor-in-chief Shlomo Kokh, writing in a special column for Channel 7 (philanthropy and community affairs section), reports that the Olam HaTorah Foundation has been disbursing significant monthly funding to the flagship national-religious yeshivas Mercaz HaRav and Har Hamor. The size and scope of the grants — described as 'huge sums' — and the foundation's identity as a donor may represent a major shift in the financial landscape for the religious-Zionist yeshiva world. Kokh does not specify exact amounts or the source of the foundation's capital; the claim is based on his investigative reporting. The revelation is published as a single-sourced column, pending further detail and response from the foundation or the yeshivas.
