Abstract

The article explores the reactions of the Haredi society in Israel to the recent Israel-Hamas war and the potential for change and integration within the community. It discusses the tensions between conservative forces and pockets of change within the Haredi community, as well as the impact of the war on their views on military conscription and their relationship with the state. The article emphasizes the religious and cultural context of the Haredi community and highlights the organized efforts to continue educational activities and the spontaneous initiatives to support soldiers and affected families. However, it remains uncertain whether these actions will lead to significant changes or a softening of boundaries within the Haredi society. [Extracted from the article]
