“…One patient sends dozens or even hundreds into quarantine. The participants’ words are in line with studies that indicate the increased likelihood of getting infected with COVID-19 amongst populations who live in dense conditions and amongst ethnic minorities in particular (Raifman and Raifman 2020 ).…”

The current paper focuses on the circumstances that have led to the high COVID-19 infection rates amongst the ultra-Orthodox population in Israel. The current study utilizes a qualitative design and is based on in-depth interviews, email correspondence and online records of 25 ultra-Orthodox individuals who either tested positive for COVID-19 or had contact with a verified COVID-19 patient. The data were analyzed through identification of main themes and an interpretation of their meanings. The findings showed that a wide range of causes led to the high infection rate, including aspects that derive from a structural element, a religious element and a social-ideological element-all of which are directly or indirectly connected to religion. These findings demonstrate the central role of religion in health outcomes among the ultra-Orthodox community in general and during pandemics in particular, and they shed light on the central role of religion in health outcomes among closed-religious communities. The findings further reveal the importance of cooperation between the state authorities and the religious ones, and of providing culturally adapted health service solutions in the fight against COVID-19 and promoting health more generally. Study limitations are discussed and recommendations for future research are provided.

“…For some women, getting cancer is a matter of destiny, which ultimately decreases breast screening rates (Banning & Hafeez, 2009; Salman, 2012; Shirazi et al., 2015; Zorogastua et al, 2017). Although Islam supports women’s duty to take care of their health ( Siddiq et al, 2020 ), religious beliefs may create fatalism, placing breast health beyond women’s locus of control ( Pinchas-Mizrachi et al, 2021 ). Beliefs in modesty, women’s willingness or tolerance to being physically touched, and a male provider may decrease participation in breast cancer screening and create embarrassment or fear of clinical breast examination and mammography ( Siddiq et al, 2020 ).…”

Introduction: This narrative review identifies barriers and facilitators influencing breast cancer screening among Arab Muslim immigrants and refugees. Low participation rates create health inequities in breast cancer screening among this population. Method: A systematic search of peer-reviewed empirical articles was performed. PRISMA, CASP, and MMAT checklists were used to appraise the studies. Results: Results include 3 themes: individual, health care system and health providers, and cultural factors. Discussion: Lack of fluency in the new country’s language, lack of knowledge, and poor exposure to breast cancer screening may contribute to the Arab Muslim women’s vulnerability to undiagnosed or delayed breast cancer diagnosis.

“…Life expectancy among the ultra-Orthodox has been found to be higher than in the general Israeli population ( Pinchas-Mizrachi et al, 2021b ). However, mammography rates in this community are significantly lower than in the general Israeli population ( Pinchas-Mizrachi, Solnica, & Daoud, 2021a ). This is in spite of the fact ultra-Orthodox Israelis are entitled to the same universal healthcare benefits as the general Israeli population.…”
