   • 2006, Samuel C. Heilman, Sliding to the Right, page 301:

     Nothing perhaps symbolized this attitude better than the case of the Yale students who, coming out of contrapuntalist Orthodoxy but having been Haredized, were prepared in 1997 to get a Yale degree but wanted little to do with Yale culture and life as found in its dormitories.

   • 2006, Simeon D. Baumel, Sacred Speakers, page 63:

     Yet it is difficult to imagine it appearing several years earlier, even if it is only with the final phrase that the acculturational cycle is completed, namely that the importation of non-Haredi culture is “Haredized,” accorded a Haredi religious affect by the reference to rabbinic guidance.

   • 2010, Nachman Ben-Yehuda, Theocratic Democracy:

     Focusing on the 1988 election coverage in the press, Heilman concluded that the reports in the secular press presented both Haredi and religious people as dangerous and splitting the nation, extortionists and purveyors of alienation, transforming democracy, encouraging violence, and aiming to “Haredize” the state.
