Many religious Jews resisted COVID-19 measures intended to reduce mortality and morbidity. This study examined Israeli religious Jews' trust levels in healthcare and religious institutions and adherence to government COVID-19 guidelines, via an online survey of 459 Israeli religious, primarily ultra-Orthodox (Haredi), Jews. Bivariate analyses found that most respondents trusted rabbis and charitable/social services regarding COVID-19 guidelines, while under half trusted the four healthcare-related entities examined. However, those trusting the healthcare entities were far likelier to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This study has implications not only for Israeli religious Jews but for other groups where trust issues are endemic.
许多虔诚的犹太教徒抵制旨在降低死亡率和发病率的新冠疫情防控措施。本研究通过对459名以色列宗教信徒（主要是极端正统派（哈雷迪）犹太人）进行在线调查，考察了以色列宗教犹太人对医疗保健机构和宗教机构的信任程度以及对政府新冠疫情防控指南的遵守情况。双变量分析发现，大多数受访者在新冠疫情防控指南方面信任拉比和慈善/社会服务机构，而在所调查的四个与医疗保健相关的机构中，信任的受访者不到一半。然而，那些信任医疗保健机构的人接种新冠疫苗的可能性要大得多。这项研究不仅对以色列宗教犹太人有启示意义，对其他普遍存在信任问题的群体也有启示意义。
