Abstract

A voluntary self-imposed “hiding” of information and knowledge is one means by which a conservative community, striving to retain its members, especially its youngsters, within a traditional lifestyle, copes with the challenges of unrestricted information and knowledge flow in a developed country like Israel. These voluntary barriers to the free flow of information and knowledge are usually effective in achieving its target, but also have considerable drawbacks, on the national level as well as on the individual one.
