Reply To: Kollel Life in Eretz Yisroel is More Difficult and a Greater Sacrifice than Army

“Look, I don’t know what the government has been giving you before or what they pay you now. But I do know that it’s far far more than anyone in the US gets.”

That’s patently false. Aside from in the U.S. the government offers to fully pay for children’s schooling (choosing to decline the offer is the citizen’s choice), the U.S. also provides much more in food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, welfare, Section 8, HEAP, child care, and what not than the sums given in Israel.
