This is a study of contemporary ultra-Orthodox religiosity in Israel. It analyses the on-going reconstruction of Haredi culture in Israel, a process which has been spurred on by the challenges of modernity, the worldwide resurgence of religion, and the strong sway of Israeliness. Despite its founders' and the present leadership's long-standing efforts to establish and buttress an community enclave, various modern trends and state institutions are having a profound impact on the yeshiva world.
