“…However, the target population for this study, Haredim, has generally been a difficult population to study and there are large gaps in knowledge about their health (Rier, Schwartzbaum, and Heller 2008; Simhi et al. 2019).…”

Research indicates that mortality rates are lower among the religious. Israeli ultra‐orthodox Jews, called Haredim, have characteristics distinguishing them from the rest of the Jewish population in Israel. These include lower socioeconomic status, higher fertility rates and rates of young marriage, and isolation from the general population. Our retrospective cohort study aims to determine the difference in mortality rates between Haredi and non‐Haredi Jews in Israel. We collected data on sociodemographic variables, religious lifestyle, and all‐cause mortality for 1,230,636 Jewish Israelis (62,674 Haredim) between 1996 and 2016. Using Cox regression and adjusted Kaplan‐Meier curves, we constructed models to evaluate the relationship between identifying as Haredi and mortality. The mortality rate was significantly lower among the Haredi population compared to the non‐Haredi population (5.0 percent vs. 8.2 percent). After adjusting for sex, age, marital status, number of children, education, and socioeconomic status, we still found a higher mortality rate among non‐Haredim compared to Haredim (HR = 1.596; 99 percent CI = 1.519, 1.678). While causal mechanisms could not be analyzed in this study, a likely cause is increased social, psychological, and religious resources, highlighting the need to consider factors other than socioeconomic status when studying religious and other groups with other forms of capital.

“…In contrast to the boys, secular subjects are an integral part of the curriculum for girls and women in Haredi society (Malhi, 2015). In addition, they are taught the rules of modesty as practiced in ultra-Orthodox society, including a dress code, modest speech and behavior, and conforming to a modest way of life (Simhi et al., 2020). All pictures, movies and study materials must also be modest.…”

Introduction This article describes the association of two culturally different institutions opening a joint Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for ultra-Orthodox Jewish (Haredi) women in order to enable them to find jobs due to changes in their society and increasing global demand for nurses in the labor market. The objective of this description is to illustrate the efforts and changes needed to facilitate the affiliation of two culturally and ideologically different organizations and the implications and conclusions of such a program. Methods The study is based on interviews with past administrators, a review of the literature, and supporting institution documents. Conclusions A joint nursing academic program was founded by two culturally different educational institutions for the ultra-Orthodox Jewish women population. Creating a culturally sensitive nursing academic program helped ultra-Orthodox women acquire an academic profession which enabled their integration into the academic professional's work world and add more nurses to the labor market. The authors reviewed the efforts and changes needed to facilitate the affiliation of two culturally and ideologically different organizations based on the Bolman and Deal four frames model.
