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.
