A new study from Tel Aviv University reveals a significant change over the past decade in the Haredi community’s attitudes toward sexual abuse, after many years of silencing and concealment, covering up and repressing the issue. According to the study, deep processes occurring in this sector over the past few years, as a result of exposure to the media and higher education, point to a rise in awareness of the consequences of sexual abuse for its victims, as well as the need for therapeutic intervention and prevention of future abuse. The study was conducted by Dr. Sara Zalcberg of TAUâs Religious Studies Program, Lester and Sally Entin Faculty of Humanities, and presented at the ‘Haredi Society in Israel’ conference of the Shandong University and Tel Aviv University Joint Institute for Israel and Judaism Studies.

The coronavirus exacted a heavy toll on Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community.
Even after discounting the crowded conditions they tend to live in and other factors that made them more prone to get the virus, the rate of confirmed COVID cases among the ultra-Orthodox was 4.6 times that of non-Haredi Jews.
The pandemic’s economic toll, at least for the Haredim who hold jobs, was also severe. In the first COVID wave last spring, the rate of Haredi employment fell 34%, compared with 19% for other Jews, according to the Israel Democracy Institute. During the second COVID wave, Haredi employment declined 22% versus 12% for other Israelis. The survey didn’t cover the third wave.
