ABSTRACT
The Six-Day War is engraved in the memory of whoever was then young as, first of all, a collection of albums. In every house we entered, we could count the albums piling up on tables and shelves. The people around whom we had grown up — meaning religious-Zionists — were not really present in the many pictures we pored over, but the elation was palpable to all. Yet, religious-Zionists were then an integral part of Israeli society and, in their attire and lifestyle, were no different from Labor members. Knitted skullcaps, so typical of the movement’s members, were not so widespread then, and religious-Zionist women differed only slightly in their dress style from women in other segments of Israeli society. Upon their return, however, the angels would find a completely different religious-Zionism, one that has experienced changes and revolutions, contradictions and their resolution, all giving rise to a generation unlike any of the previous ones.
