A stark religious polarization divides Israeli university students, with most either firmly Orthodox or entirely detached from organized Judaism - revealing a profound spiritual crisis among Israel's young intellectuals. Four years of ethnographic research at Hebrew University's Hillel Foundation in Jerusalem, encompassing interactions with over 1,000 Hillel members, faculty conversations, and analysis of student media, reveals two groups operating in separate spheres with minimal crossover. Orthodox students, representing 13% of the student population, display ritualistic rather than spiritually engaged religious practice, while showing little appetite for theological innovation or interfaith dialogue. Their non-Orthodox peers demonstrate complete apathy toward Jewish religious tradition, engaging only with religion-state political concerns. Despite this surface-level polarization, students across both groups harbor deeper unvoiced spiritual and moral concerns, particularly regarding career uncertainty, ethical standards in Israeli society, and questions of national identity. While Jewish religion currently fails to provide meaningful spiritual expression for these young scholars, several emerging factors suggest potential shifts: increased government focus on diaspora relations, growing international Jewish student presence, and expanding academic Jewish studies programs. These developments may reshape how future generations of Israeli students engage with their religious heritage.
