More of Israel’s Ultra-Orthodox Youth Abandoning Religious Lifestyle
March 2, 2023
In Israel, the ultra-Orthodox, who strictly observe Jewish law, are currently about 13% of Israel’s population, although their numbers are growing due to a high birthrate. At the same time, a growing number of ultra-Orthodox youth are opting out of the community, often cutting all ties to their past. Linda Gradstein reports from Jerusalem. VOA footage by Ricki Rosen.
