| Zusammenfassung: | This article focuses on perceptions of the Jewish ultra-Orthodox population in Israel—a religious minority—regarding guidelines enacted by the Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) during the country’s second wave of COVID-19, and ways the community coped with the pandemic. Semi-structured interviews with 30 ultra-Orthodox individuals revealed five major discourses reflecting participants’ perceptions. Three discourses objected to MOH guidelines, while the other two aligned with them. The study’s findings also indicate a lack of cooperation between the ultra-Orthodox population and state health authorities, emphasizing the need to implement culturally adapted health interventions. Study limitations are discussed, and future research recommendations are provided. |
