Personal Acculturation
In modern Hebrew, the term Judaization is used to describe the cultural life of baalei teshuvah, or 'returnees', and refers to 'a process through which secular, non-observant, young (and not so young) Israelis who have grown up in Israel within the majority culture, have become practicing Orthodox Jews and have joined the minority subculture of Orthodoxy'. It is the obverse of 'de-Judaization', the process, observed for example in Soviet Russia, where discriminatory practices against Jews gave momentum to their 'de-Judaization'
