Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Defense Service Law (Amendment No. 19), 2014 regulates the deferral of service and the integration into military and civilian service of yeshiva students. Among other things, the Law determines that the Minister of Defense shall establish, with the approval of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, criteria for recognizing yeshivas whose students will be permitted to defer their service. In order to maintain continuity in the service deferral procedures, upon enactment of the Law a one-year transitional provision was established, according to which the list of yeshivas would continue to be based on the criteria of the previous law (the "Tal Law"). Due to the dissolution of the 19th Knesset, the procedures for establishing the Regulations setting the criteria for recognizing yeshivas were not completed. The current amendment extends by an additional year the transitional provision allowing the Minister of Defense to continue exercising his authority based on the list of yeshivas determined under the Tal Law, until 20 March 2016.
