TY - JOUR T1 - Group identity and social closeness: Secular and Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israeli academic institutions JF - International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy Y1 - 2018 A1 - Moskovich, Y A1 - Liberman, I KW - identity KW - Israeli society KW - Secular KW - Ultra-Orthodox Jews AB - The purpose of this paper is to study examine the social identity of Ultra-Orthodox students enrolled in institutions of higher learning in Israel, and specifically the ways in which the identity of Ultra-Orthodox students who interact with other groups on campus compares to the identity of self-segregated Ultra-Orthodox students. Traditionally, Ultra-Orthodox students have preferred self-segregated educational institutions. Today, however increasing numbers of Ultra-Orthodox Jews are enrolling in regular academic institutions. Although they study in separate, homogeneous classrooms, they interact with secular students within the framework of the institution.
