from today’s Jerusalem Post:

‘Israel holding money that could save Jewish schools in FSU’

A network of some 42 Jewish schools in the former Soviet Union are in danger of closing, because the Israeli government hasn’t paid money it had pledged to keep them afloat, according to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, which is trying to help save the schools.

Some of the schools also serve as orphanages and if closed may leave thousands of Jewish children on the streets.
