| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the degree to which various factors at the College of Judea and Samaria or in the region have had a positive influence on the attitudes of the college's graduates towards the region and to what degree these factors contributed to their decision to settle in the area. In this case study this question has special significance beyond that relevant to the influence of an academic institution on a graduate's decision to settle in the region of his/her college. This special significance stems from the fact that the founding documents defining its goals, which accompanied the establishment of the College of Judea and Samaria (hereafter, CJS), explicitly state that it was the intention of the founders of the College to turn the institution into a tool, which would lead the graduates to settle in the region.1
CJS was established in 1982; in 1990 it moved its academic activities from the settlement of Qedumim to Ari'el. The College was authorized by the Council for Higher Education (CHE) to bestow a bachelor's degree in over 20 departments, divided among five faculties: engineering, architecture, social sciences and humanities, natural sciences, and health sciences. By 2005 over 4,500 graduates had received degrees at CJS. One of the advantages of the College among fellow academic institutions is its closeness to the shoreline and to the centre of Israel. Other advantages of the College in Ari'el are its accessibility by good public transportation and the low cost of living for the students in Ari'el.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article describes the establishment of the pre-military academies in Judea and Samaria as cultural agents preceding the militaristic habitus of these areas. It follows the development of the security epistemic community in these areas which formed a new identity of the settlers. The increase of religious-Zionist youth in combat units and officer courses in the IDF due to these academies altered the positioning of the settlers and all religious Zionists in Israeli society vis-à-vis non-religious elites, the ultra-orthodox, and religious-Zionist groups who did not join the pre-military academy revolution. Judea and Samaria became a ‘security zone’ identified with sacrifice, heroism, giving, a pedagogical partnership with the army, reflected in higher percentages of activities in educational, religious, and cultural institutions encouraging meaningful army service.
