| rdfs:label | - Anti-work attitudes in Haredi Judaism
|
| rdfs:comment | - In Haredi Judaism are attitudes that oppose employment in favor of Torah study. These are particularly prevalent in parts of Israel and have angered the nation's secular Jewish population. The main justification for not working is that the most important value bestowed in Judaism is the study of Torah, and full-time devotion to Torah study requires that one not work. Restrictions opposing work apply more to men than to women. Haredi Jews following these restrictions allow women to work, but with restrictions.

| abstract | - In Haredi Judaism are attitudes that oppose employment in favor of Torah study. These are particularly prevalent in parts of Israel and have angered the nation's secular Jewish population. The main justification for not working is that the most important value bestowed in Judaism is the study of Torah, and full-time devotion to Torah study requires that one not work. Restrictions opposing work apply more to men than to women. Haredi Jews following these restrictions allow women to work, but with restrictions. About 60% of Haredi Jews in Israel presently voluntarily do not participate in the labor market in order to pursue full-time Torah study and are receiving meager government stipends for the cost of living. Israeli law provides military exemptions to those who pursue full-time Torah study, while at the same time, prohibits them from working. However, some Haredi Jews do wish to work, but find cultural barriers stand in the way of employment.
