Degel HaTorah Helps Yeshiva Students Update Visas

By Betzalel Kahn

Degel HaTorah's Center for Public Service in Jerusalem has begun a broad effort to help foreigners studying at yeshivas in Eretz Yisroel to arrange their student visas in order to prevent the delay of funds provided by the Education Ministry's Yeshiva Department.

Recently there have been delays in funding transfers for yeshivas and kollelim where students with foreign citizenship study. In order to receive the funding smoothly, student visas must be kept up to date.

Degel HaTorah reached an agreement with the Population Registrar in Jerusalem to update visas collectively for these students. The visas are valid for a period of two years. According to the arrangement bochurim and families with more than five children are exempt from the fee.

The visa campaign is now underway. Yeshivas and kollelim that would like to take part should contact the Degel HaTorah office in Jerusalem at Rechov HaMabit 10, call 02-5371172 or send a fax to 02-5371176. Full details and application forms are available at the office.
