[Ynet] The initiative, with a financial scope of 100 million shekels, will provide grants of thousands of shekels each to reservists whose businesses were affected by the war, and the amount will depend on the number of reserve days served and the size of the business.
| The Jewish community taking care of its own, as it’s done for two-plus millennia I note that nothing is said about reserving the benefit to Jewish reservists — because Israel defines apartheid differently than the rest of the world, donchaknow. |
The fund, with a financial scope of approximately 100 million shekels, is designed to aid self-employed reservists whose businesses suffered due to the conflict. Grants will range from 7,000 shekels to 50,000 shekels per business, depending on the number of reserve days served and the size of the business. Additionally, recipients will receive free professional business consultations.
Eligible for this aid are reservists from across Israel who served at least 60 days during the war and own a business (whether as a sole proprietor, licensed dealer or limited company) with annual revenues of up to 10 million shekels. These businesses must have experienced at least a 20% decline in revenue during the war period. |
