Kollel
When Beth Medrash Govoha was opened in 1943 a stipend of $40 a week was given to married students, which at the time was enough to live on. Although providing for a family today is beyond the budget of the yeshiva, as the yeshiva has over 5000 married students, the yeshiva still gives a stipend called a Kolel check. There is a base amount, plus an additional bonus for those that are punctual in arriving on time for the study sessions, that comes to a little more than $100 a week.
