“…The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on different populations within Israel was found to vary markedly according to the affiliation to unique subpopulations, such as religious Ultra-Orthodox Jewish populations or Arab minority groups ( Shadmi et al, 2020 ). Previous studies in Israel have shown significant associations between population demographics as well as personal attributes and distress symptoms: economic difficulties, due to the pandemic crisis, positively correlated with distress symptoms, while levels of income and age negatively correlated with distress (Kimhi, Marciano, Eshel, & Adini, 2020, 2020a ; Sharabi and Kay, 2021 ). Gender differences were also found regarding distress symptoms, with women displaying a higher level of distress, compared with men ( Kimhi et al, 2020a , Kimhi et al, 2020b , Kimhi et al, 2020c , Kimhi et al, 2020d ).…”

“…Since religious people allocate many points to the religion domain, this comes at the expense of work centrality while the Lottery Question measurement does not have this bias. Indeed, a recent study among Jewish men in Israel did not find a significant effect of religiosity on work centrality (Sharabi and Kay, 2019).…”

PurposeThe Nonfinancial employment commitment (NFEC) of Muslims in general, and of Arab Muslims in particular, has not yet been studied. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to fill this gap by exploring the NFEC among Arab Muslims in Israel and comparing it to that of Jews in Israel.Design/methodology/approachThe most common indicator of NFEC is the classic “Lottery Question,” which asked whether an individual would continue or stop working if they won a lottery or inherited a large sum of money. The sample included 215 Muslims and 898 Jews representing the Israeli labor force.FindingsThe findings reveal higher NFEC among Arab Muslims, particularly among women, compared to Jews. Muslims and Jews in urban areas have a lower NFEC then those who live in smaller localities. Among both Jews and Muslims, NFEC significantly increases with education level and income.Social implicationsNFEC is an important measure of the work ethic. A high NFEC of Arab Muslims, especially among women, reflects a high nonactualized potential for Western societies integrating Arab Muslim immigrants and refugees into the labor market.Originality/valueThe authors adapted the core–periphery model and found that it could explain the authors’ findings regarding NFEC differences among ethnoreligious groups in different residential areas. As the authors indicated before, it is the first time that NFEC of Arab Muslims has been studied.

“…Israeli society is composed of deeply divided enclaves, communities secluded by choice (Douglas, 1985): mainly Arab (e.g., Erdreich, 2016;Lev-On & Lissitsa, 2015) and Haredi (ultra-Orthodox; e.g., Hakak & Rapoport, 2012;Lev-On et al, 2020;Sharabi & Kay, 2021).…”

Many government-sponsored policies and programs have been implemented in recent years to reduce digital inequality, but research on the effectiveness of such programs is severely lacking. We examine the short-term effects of participation in Lehava, the largest such program in Israel. Participants in our study completed a survey before and after taking introductory computer and internet classes. The findings demonstrate that motivations for participating in the program (measured before taking the course), as well as knowledge gains (i.e., differences between levels of familiarity with concepts before and after taking the course), were predicted almost exclusively by participants’ perceptions of technology and the internet, and not by socio-demographic or other variables. We conclude by discussing the <em>significance of perceptions</em> over and above socio-demographic considerations for bridging digital inequality gaps.
