Reply To: Does the state really support Torah?

MTAB,
1. You are counting the Eastern European men who learned after work but not the Israelis who do. That is fake statistics.
2. Just before the war there was massive involuntary unemployment among Jews because of economic boycotts. This canot be compared to unemployment by choice.
4. The State also subsidizes yeshivot, kollelim and learning programs for retirees directly. Not to mention State Religious and Chinuch Atzmai school, religious councils, neighborhood, town and city rabbis.
