Abstract:
During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel (MarchJune 2020), we interviewed ultra-Orthodox society members to examine theirexperiences, behaviors and attitudes towards their Haredi ingroup and their secularoutgroup. Having conducted content analysis, we present preliminary findingswhich identify the mindset and attitude change of activists and community leadersin ultra-Orthodox communities. All the interviewees were critical of the secularmedia, which in their opinion took part in “incitement” and generalizations towardsthe ultra-Orthodox. Moreover, a differential reaction was found towards the rabbinicultra-Orthodox leadership: While public activists, nourished by the classical ultraOrthodox ethos, did not question the status of the rabbis, modern ultra-Orthodoxmembers were skeptical about the authority and capabilities of ultra-Orthodoxrabbis. Based on these preliminary insights, it seems that the social and mediaoccurrences set by COVID-19 have catalyzed skepticism and distrust in certainultra-Orthodox groups toward their leadership.
