Who Ordered the Cuts to the Religious Services Budget?
Full Text;
At a meeting today of the Knesset Finance Committee, committee chairman Yaakov Litzman (United Torah Judaism) challenged a representative of the ministry of finance to explain what he said was a disparate cut in funding for yeshivas and municipal religious councils. According to Litzman, the cuts in religious services and yeshiva education (15%) are proportionally greater than the across-the-board cuts to all other ministerial budgets. Officially the proposed across-the-board cuts are to average 6 percent.
The finance ministry representative replied to MK Litzman that the decision of where and how to make cuts was that of the ministers of the various ministries affected. Education Minister Yuli Tamir (Labor-Meimad), he explained, decided to cut back on yeshiva budgets. However, MK Litzman said that Minister Tamir personally informed him that it was the finance ministry that determined what cuts would be made.
