Israeli Supreme Court Reviews Petition Against Tax Deduction for Donations to Yeshivas with Draft-Age Students
The Israeli Supreme Court is currently hearing a petition challenging the tax deduction status for donations made to yeshivas where students are subject to military conscription. The petition seeks to revoke the recognition under Section 46 of the tax code that allows such donations to be tax-deductible. The hearing is taking place on July 13, 2026, with a panel of three justices: Daphne Barak-Erez, Gila Kanfi-Steinitz, and Ruth Ronen. The case touches on the broader issue of military conscription among ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) students and the state's tax policies related to religious institutions. No public comments or responses have been published yet regarding the petition.
