Youth Aliya teachers in Kiryat Shemona have each contributed 25 hours of work to the Treasury as their part in the efforts to strengthen the economy. In a letter to Cabinet ministers and Histadrut Secretary General Yeruham Meshel, the teachers noted that they have raised the contribution despite their relatively low salaries because “Israel’s teachers should be at the spearhead of every voluntary action.” The teachers believe their contribution would save the State tens of thousands of Pounds. They expressed the hope that other workers would follow.
