In the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War, Israeli youth demonstrated remarkable resilience and continuity in their core values, confounding expectations of radical psychological transformation. A comprehensive survey of 5,000 students across 55 diverse high schools—spanning secular, religious, vocational, and kibbutz institutions—revealed enhanced national solidarity without fundamental shifts in consciousness. Conducted by the Israel Institute of Applied Social Research for the Ministry of Education and Culture, the investigation compared pre- and post-war attitudes while exploring potential generational divides. Analysis of questionnaire responses showed strengthened Jewish and Zionist consciousness, with 77% of youth willing to volunteer for extended military service. Cross-referencing with Hebrew University's adult survey data indicated minimal generational gaps, while religious observance emerged as a more significant differentiator of values than ethnic or socioeconomic factors. Students maintained strong identification with global Jewish communities while expressing skepticism about Arab-Israeli peace prospects. These findings illuminate the war's measured impact on youth consciousness and challenge assumptions about demographic determinants of Israeli youth attitudes.
