Orthodox Web surfers
Fervently Orthodox Israeli Jews are avid Internet users, according to a new study.
Despite a ban on recreational Internet use by many fervently Orthodox rabbis, nearly one-third of the community surfs the Web, according to a University of Washington study based on online habits of 14,000 fervently Orthodox Israelis on an Israeli Internet service called Hevre. The community is only half as likely as secular Israelis to send e-mails, but they are more likely than other Israelis to join online forums with members of their own community, the study found.
The study also found that fervently Orthodox women use the Internet less than men. The full study will be published in next month's edition of the Information Society.
