Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday morning held a fateful hearing regarding the petitions filed by left-wing organizations demanding that all funding to yeshivos be permanently halted and that the IDF immediately begin drafting Chareidim. The petitions are being deliberated by an expanded panel of nine judges headed by acting Supreme Court President Uzi Vogelman. After the Chareidi draft law expired, the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting funding to yeshivos for bochurim ages 18-26. Sunday’s hearing will determine whether to continue the ban on funding yeshivos and whether draft notices will sent to tens of thousands of bochurim and avreichim.
