The Science and Technology Ministry is continuing to fund enrichment courses for the general public on the relationship between science and Jewish law (halakha ), according to a tender published last week inviting groups to apply for grants. The tender stipulates that bodies applying for the funding must be those dealing with 'halakhic-scientific research' and in finding 'technological-halakhic solutions.'
The ministry is to grant NIS 600,000 in funding to this year's programs, less than last year's NIS 1 million handed out."
