	abstract = {In this article we identify four principal dimensions of religious fundamentalism as they interact with the Internet: hierarchy, patriarchy, discipline, and seclusion. We also develop the concept of cultured technology, and analyze the ways communities reshape a technology and make it a part of their culture, while at the same time changing their customary ways of life and unwritten laws to adapt to it. Later, we give examples for our theoretical framework through an empirical examination of ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in Israel. Our empirical study is based on a data set of 686,192 users and 60,346 virtual communities. The results show the complexity of interactions between religious fundamentalism and the Internet, and invite further discussions of cultured technology as a means to understand how the Internet has been culturally constructed, modified, and adapted to the needs of fundamentalist communities and how they in turn have been affected by it.},

	abstract = {This article surveys the approach of Orthodox Judaism {\textendash} especially the Haredi (Ultra-
Orthodox) Judaism {\textendash} to the Internet. In the introduction we compare the approach
of the Abrahamic religions to the Internet. Then we focus on the Haredi
community (especially in the contemporary State of Israel) and their specific approach
to the Internet. This article argues that the use of the Internet, although officially
banned by many Haredi Rabbis, is in fact tolerated on a pragmatic basis. We
also survey which kind of {\textquotedblleft}protection against secular threads{\textquotedblright} the Haredim1 use
(filtering software, Holy Shabbat protection). In the last part of this article the role
of the Internet in Israeli religious politics, and by its uses by fundamentalist and
radical Jewish groups, is surveyed},
