The assault on the Torah world shows no signs of slowing. In a move drawing fierce backlash, Israel’s Attorney General has decided to penalize the children of yungeleit who are considered draft-dodgers by revoking their previously granted priority status in admissions to government-supervised daycare centers, where space is already extremely limited.
According to a report by Liel Kaiser on Kan News, this new directive would effectively relegate these children to the bottom of the list for admission, placing them at a severe disadvantage due to the state’s classification of their fathers as “lawbreakers.”
The Attorney General’s office claims that since these fathers have failed to comply with military draft laws, their families can no longer benefit from public prioritization in state-supported frameworks.
In practical terms, this means that in areas where daycare demand exceeds availability, children of yungeleit labeled as “in violation of the law” will likely be excluded from placement altogether.
Simultaneously, chareidi political sources stated that the deadline set for passing a new draft law before Shavuos “is no longer relevant.”
These insiders admitted that it’s unrealistic to expect the legislation to be approved in time and warned of possible withdrawal from the coalition if progress is not made. As of now, no finalized version of the law exists, and significant gaps remain between the version promoted by Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein and the position of the chareidi parties, particularly Yahadut Hatorah.
Attorney Shalom Nagar, chairman of the Chalamish legal advocacy organization, launched a sharp rebuke of the Attorney General’s decision: “The decision by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara this evening to impose selection criteria against children of yungeleit applying for daycare is not just discrimination—it is a manifestation of the racism underpinning the subsidy’s cancellation. This decision is pure malice.
“Denying a child entry into a daycare center—even at full cost—when he is legally entitled to preferential treatment is an act of unimaginable cruelty that could have long-term consequences on that child’s future. This appears to be driven more by ideological bias than any legitimate considerations of justice or equality. It is a hateful and vindictive move, aimed squarely at leaving the chareidi child out in the cold.
“We will utilize every legal avenue available to halt this grave injustice and the ongoing persecution of chareidi children,” Nagar vowed.

You are not able to consider that there might be fierce backlash when you are blinded by hate
the entire secular Israeli establishment has this same machla in whole or in part
I don’t understand chareidim in Israel. The government has basically stopped funding their schools. At best, some schools might still receive some peanuts if they follow their secular core education, why would they consider joining the draft?
Could we get John Wilkes Booth or Jack Ruby to take care of the situation? Maybe Yigal Amir is able to solve the crisis.
they should send to private metaplot!
they should ask about her, if she meets their standart, chose a long-time metapelet
and not be dependent on the state!
private metaplot who work in their homes are much more motivated to take care of the young charge properly
than most workers un maonim, many of hom are olim chadashim who receive minimum wage for working in a maon because they didn’t find something better. the minute they find a better job they are out of there.
