The Torah World Fund (קרן עולם התורה) has announced a special initiative to provide a personal stipend to eligible married yeshiva scholars (avrechim) who have been married for at least three years. Under this program, scholars will receive a grant of 500 shekels for each study session (seder), totaling 1,000 shekels for those studying a full day. This stipend will be directly deposited into the scholars' bank accounts, in addition to the fund's regular support for Torah institutions.
In a letter to the scholars, the fund's management expressed gratitude for their dedication to Torah study and announced the decision to award this personal stipend for the first time. The letter emphasizes that this grant is a personal expression of appreciation for the scholars' efforts, beyond the ongoing support provided through institutions. The fund stated, "This is not charity money, but rather we see it as payment for guarding, as there is no guarding like Torah." This highlights the belief that scholars engaged in Torah study protect the world through their learning, and the stipend serves as recognition and reward for their diligent efforts.
