With regard to the Chessed, kindness, which our government in the United States of America… has established programs to assist school students … and included in this assistance are the Torah institutions which also greatly benefit from these programs.
[Therefore it follows that] certainly all of the Roshei Yeshivah and the principals and the students express gratitude to the government and bless the government and its leaders with peace and with all blessings.
(Igeros Moshe, Choshen Mishpat 2:29)
