Reply To: Does the state really support Torah?

If the Israeli government subsidizes secular schools and universities with tax dollars, frum Israeli taxpayers have every right to expect the government to similarly subsidize yeshivos and Kollels. That is equity for taxpayers, nothing more than their own tax dollars going to support their own schools just as the secular tax dollars go to support secular schools. Anything other than the government giving money to yeshivos while they give to secular schools would be government theft from the frum. That they aren’t thieves doesn’t make the government especially righteous.
