“…The essential transformation in leisure time between 1970 and 1990 is evident from the following table, based on the two studies of Katz et al (1998) and of Levy et al (1993). At the same time, it is also notable that the comparison between the leisure culture of the 1990s and of the 1970s indicates a significant rise in the variety of leisure and culture activities.…”

“…Among observant Jews, there is a growing inclination to avoid taking part in common leisure activities. The disparity between secular and religious with regard to the culture of leisure is on the rise (Katz et al, 1998;Soen & Rabinovich, 2011).…”

“…(Almog, 2004) Utilization of leisure in Israel may be said to be affected by a long list of variables (Almog, 2004): one's cultural background; one's religiosity; the geographical variable (place of residence in Israel); the age variable; one's gender and socioeconomic cross-section. In this context, it must be emphasized once again that of all factors affecting utilization of leisure, religiosity has a significant weight (Katz-Gerro et al, 2009). …”

The article deals with the concept of leisure in Israel in terms of time, activity, state of mind, and Jewish values.The purpose of the study is to examine changes in how leisure is conceived in Judaism and the differences in the secular and religious conception of leisure, and the special relationship between leisure, work, and religious obligations and tradition. The study reviews the factors that have shaped the conception of leisure and its developments over time in Jewish religious society in general and in Israel in particular, which is a country with cultural foundations in both tradition and modernity, and one that strives to strike a balance between its multiple commitments to its religious roots and its modern democratic nature. The study proceeds to discuss the implications of such conceptions and developments for the Israeli education system. The article may have practical implications for imparting leisure behaviors, an educational challenge involving people's attitude to leisure.

“…Religiousness is considered an important determinant of family size (Friedlander and Goldscheider 1978), political behaviour (Shamir and Arian 1999), and way of life (Smooha 2005). Affiliation with a certain ethnic and religious social group implies belonging to a community with very distinct cultural norms, interests, and goals in life (Katz-Gerro et al 2009). The vast majority of Jews in Israel are subject to the influences of one or more of these sub-cultures (Liebman 1997).…”

“…Research efforts in cultural sociology have generally been devoted to the confirmation of omnivorous consumption patterns (López-Sintas & Katz-Gerro, 2005;van Rees, Vermunt, & Verboord, 1999). Since the first proposal, researchers have made efforts to reveal omnivorous cultural tastes in the U.S. (Alderson, Junisbai, & Heacock, 2007;see Eijck, 2000), and cultural omnivores have also been confirmed by studies in France, England, Spain, Israel, and Russia (Chan & Goldthorpe, 2005;Coulangeon & Lemel, 2007;Katz-Gerro, Raz, & Yaish, 2009;Zavisca, 2005).…”

Cultural Omnivores’ Consumption: Strategic and Inclusively Exclusive

This study explores cultural dispositions and consumption practices of cultural omnivores whose tastes align with those of high-status people in the U.S. Peterson and colleagues first identified the shift in status markers from snobbish and highbrow tastes to eclectic and omnivorous ones. Our findings suggest that cultural omnivores are characterized by two traits: superior self-perception in taste and cultural tolerance. These traits indicate that their prestige is sustained by their cultural styles, which are simultaneously broad and exclusive. Cultural omnivores also tend to engage in multifaceted experiences in food consumption and appearance-related goods (i.e., clothing), as well as Internet usage. We believe that the multiplicity observed in the current study reflects the highly strategic nature of the everyday consumption practices of cultural omnivores. We conclude that the qualities of elite consumers (i.e., cultural capital) are translated into omnivorous cultural consumption and a strategic and practical type of everyday consumption. The findings of this study have implications for marketing to high-status consumer segments characterized by a strong buying power and opinion leadership.
