The Emet L’Yaakov organization has filed a petition with the High Court of Justice against the Ministry of Labor and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, challenging a new directive that they claim discriminates against children of kollel families whose fathers have not settled their status with the IDF. The petition calls for the cancellation of the directive, which prevents children of parents studying in Torah institutions—who have not received an exemption or served in the military, national, or civil service—from being eligible for daycare and family daycare placements.
