Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is seeking to condition continued government funding for Chareidi educational institutions on compliance with a sweeping set of requirements, including the teaching of the full core curriculum, appropriately trained teaching staffs, and cooperation with government oversight and enforcement mechanisms.
In a response submitted Friday to the High Court of Justice over a petition concerning funding for the so-called “first floor” of the Chareidi education networks, Baharav-Miara determined that institutions receiving funding under the “All Children of Israel” principle would have to meet the basic obligations imposed on the networks.
Those conditions include teaching the full core curriculum as established in the official state education program, employing properly trained teachers, fully participating in measurement and assessment programs, cooperating with supervision and enforcement mechanisms, and meeting government reporting requirements.
Significantly, the requirements would not be pushed off to a future school year. They are set to apply beginning with the current academic year, potentially placing immediate pressure on Chareidi institutions that depend on government funding.
The move represents another major confrontation between Baharav-Miara and the Chareidi sector, with the attorney general effectively tying continued public funding to compliance with state educational and oversight standards.
The development comes amid an increasingly heated battle over the relationship between the state and Chareidi education, with funding and government requirements once again becoming a central flashpoint.

antisemite! may hashem deal with her permanently!
Since Israel has passed a basic law establishing Torah study as a fundamental value of the Jewish state — surely there should be schools that teach Torah and enable this fundamental value to be taught???
Dear attorney general of Israel, You are not to be believed. How can you sit there and calmly desecrate the established Torah institutions for Chareidis that you yourself are not a member of? Just to promote your unkind agenda against the Chareidi Rabbeim and their constituency the Talmidim and Bochurim. First you try to arrest them for non-compliance with unkind laws designed to forcibly conscript them into military service in the Israeli IDF, Israeli Defense Forces. Your police henchmen rip off pants and kick and smack IDF Chareidi Protesters unquestionably in a horrifying manor, secondly your police henchmen allow opposers to the Chareidi Draft Resistance to point guns at them and threaten to kill them, next, you throw into jail compliant Chareidis who are trying to comply with Police attorney general Israeli law, and lastly you make Chareidi Protesters lose their hard earned benefits for food, education, daycare, and housing. What is wrong with you attorney general of Israel? Are you blinded to the fact that the Abisht-r has designated these Torah Males to learn and teach Torah to protect all of us Yidden? And now, of all things, you want to subterfuge the Chinuch Torah educational process by suggesting non-Torah curriculum to harm the ancient and established ways of teaching Torah to their Beloved Bochurim and Talmidim. It is a complete waste of time to teach public school curriculum to Torah Males. Why? you might ask? Because those subjects fly in the face of established Torah Curriculum that teaches against public school curriculum. Public School curriculum introduces subjects that directly hurt G-D. They are insensitive to Torah Law which is binding upon it’s adherents. To teach the opposite of Torah us to teach death and not TORAH LIFE. Cease and desist attorney general of Israel and go back to your drawing board. Find ways to approach The Chareidi population with Compassion and Mercy and stay clear of trying to change Torah institutions which have stood the test of the ages and the test of TORAH TIME.
Apartheid PERSECUTION of over 1m Chareidim!
