"כתוּב נשים שאננות": אוריינותן הפוליטית של נשים חרדיות אל מול המשבר המשטרי בישראל ב־2023

Traditionally, Israel's Haredi population – particularly the women – were known for high voting rates but low political literacy and engagement. The current article discusses the development of political literacy among mainstream Haredi women in response to the regime crisis of 2023 and the political unrest surrounding it. We show that, despite their outward resistance to political involvement, the fear that has accompanied the political crisis has been an incentive for the growth of political literacy and, to a lesser extent, political activism. This has been most evident around proposed changes in the certification processes for healthcare professions. The article contributes to the understanding of the impact of the crisis and the protests on the Haredi population and its integration into Israeli society, and the relationship between religion, gender, and political literacy.
