Abstract
This article addresses the mobile experience of Mizrahi graduates of yeshiva high schools in the late 1980s. The research findings showed that the graduates attributed a central role to yeshiva high school in their process of social mobility. The yeshiva high school functioned as an elite educational institution and assisted students in the cultivation of a habitus that enabled social mobility. In addition, the students also experienced “sectoral mobility” as a result of their studies; their time in yeshiva high school was key to their integration into Israeli religious Zionist society. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of habitus as a condition for mobility, with a particular focus on the religious Zionist socialization processes that took place in yeshiva high school in the 1980s.
