Tamir Mandovsky, author of the bestseller 'Investments for the Lazy', published a video on Instagram in which he refuted the claim that the Haredi public lives at the public's expense. Mandovsky, who holds an economic view advocating for the abolition of allowances, presented data showing that the yeshiva budget is 0.27% of the state budget (1.9 billion out of 700 billion shekels). He warned against political slogans that divide the public and compared the feeling to someone who thinks their headphones were stolen only to find they are with them. Mandovsky emphasized that he does not see the current situation as an ideal model, but asked not to turn disagreements into hatred.
