The three haredi men allegedly used an existing nonprofit’s name – the
Meah Shearim-based Bnos Yerushalayim school – and added the name Keren
Moshe to it. The men then represented it as a new nonprofit and
allegedly used it to bilk the government out of millions of shekels.
3 More Haredim Arrested For Fraud

Police and Tax Authority agents raided the homes of three haredim yesterday morning, making three arrests.
The three haredi men allegedly used an existing nonprofit’s name – the Meah Shearim-based Bnos Yerushalayim school – and added the name Keren Moshe to it. The men then represented it as a new nonprofit and allegedly used it to bilk the government out of millions of shekels.
The real Bnos Yerushalayim school does not take any state funds because it is affiliated with the rabidly anti-Zionist Eidah Charedis faction.
The men allegedly used the names and identification numbers of students who study in Eidah Charedis schools, and took millions of shekels in government subsidies as if they were actually students in the Keren Moshe Bnos Yerushalayim school.
But the Keren Moshe Bnos Yerushalayim school does not exist.
The three men live in haredi enclaves, one in Ramat Beit Shemesh, another in Meah Shearim, and another in Givat Ze’ev resident.
This fraud is similar to the fraud allegedly carried out by 11 haredi men who were indicted yesterday for stealing millions of shekels from the government.
In both cases, the arrested men are primarily linked to Eidah Charedis.
