Shraga,
1. I know about what I wrote regarding the Chareidi (and those National Religious who have been influenced by Chareidi Socialism) first-hand.
2. I saw the amounts of the cuts.The amounts per family are small. However, over all recipients (every mother who has the legal status of an Israeli resident regardless of income) the saving come to approximately NIS 2.7 billion approx.$750 million). If this small amount is so critical to you, why not cut out non-essentials, such as an Internet connection? If you and your family have cell phones you can cancel them too. They are every expensive and are often a nuisance.In addition, you might take a second job, your wife might work, etc.
YM, Yesh Atid since when is living on handouts the Tora way? On the contrary, Chazal call this “bread of shame”. The Tora way is to find people jobs. Tzedaka is for people who cannot work.
