Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The National-Civic Service Law, 2014, is a temporary provision that regulates the service of those designated for security service who are graduates of yeshivas and Haredi educational institutions who have reached the age of 21, enabling them to serve in national-civic service as an alternative to their service in the Israel Defense Forces. Service under the Law is carried out on the basis of two tracks: the first, civic-social service under one of the fields or roles specified in the Law, including homeland security and rear-area defense, health, welfare and education; the second, civic-security service in one of the specified bodies, including the Israel Police, the Prison Service and the National Fire and Rescue Authority. The Law also includes provisions regarding the performance of the service, the period and scope of the service, the conditions of service, and the regulation of the service within the operating body, including its obligations. In addition, the Law established the National-Civic Service Authority, which is responsible for operating the national-civic service in accordance with the provisions of the Law, alongside enabling the minister, being a member of the government authorized by it to do so, to authorize supervisors from among the Authority's employees to oversee the implementation of the provisions of the Law, including with regard to the nature and quality of the national-civic service. Since the validity of the arrangement enabling the deferral of service for yeshiva students expired on 30 June 2023, and with it the validity of the National-Civic Service Law also expired, and in order to continue to enable those whose service has already been deferred to integrate into national-civic service, the validity of the National-Civic Service Law was extended until 30 June 2025. Now, under Amendment No. 7, its validity has been extended until 15 November 2025.
