Those who refuse will no longer receive state support. Legal immunity for Haredim Jews is set to expire in March 2024.
Haredim Jews, also known as “Charedim” in Hebrew. Judaism does not have separate sects. However, the Jewish community distinguishes between secular, liberal, conservative, Orthodox, and Haredim. These are groups with significant differences in lifestyle and beliefs.
For example, Haredim Jews in Jerusalem refuse to share buses with women. As a result, there are separate bus routes for men and women on the route between the Western Wall and areas where many Haredim live.
Haredim families have a higher birth rate than other families in Israel, and the proportion of Haredim in the Israeli population has been steadily increasing over the decades. Forty years ago, the proportion was only about 4%, today it is about 12%. In the next 25 years, the proportion is expected to exceed 20%.
Decades ago, only a few areas of Jerusalem were Haredi. Tourists often visited the Mea Shearim neighborhood to experience Orthodox life. Today, the Haredi way of life dominates large parts of the city. The second most important city with a Haredi population in Israel is Bnei Brak, northeast of Tel Aviv.
