The "Olam HaTorah" (World of Torah) fund has launched a new financial initiative, distributing personal grants directly to the bank accounts of married Haredi scholars, known as "avrechim," who have been married for over three years. The program will provide NIS 500 for each "seder limud" (study session), meaning an avreich studying a full day is eligible for a monthly stipend of NIS 1,000, in addition to the regular support provided to the Torah institutions where they study. The fund stated in a letter to the avrechim that the move is intended to express personal appreciation for their dedication to Torah study, describing it as "payment for guarding, as there is no guarding like Torah." The organization emphasized that these grants are not traditional charity but direct compensation for the scholars' commitment to preserving spiritual and societal values through their persistent study.
