Hi to you all,

I'm a doctoral student at the School of Social work, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research deals with masculine identities in the ultra orthodox community in Israel. Basically I did field work in four sites: Lituanian yeshivas (religious seminaries), where attempts are made to construct the hegemonic masculine model for this society and three other sites in which ultra orthodox men have appeared only recently: a basic training course for ultra orthodox cadets; an occupational training program and the ultra orthodox headquarter within the right wing Likud party. These three new sites allow for the formation of alternative masculine models to appear.
