Hardal

Hardal (also spelled Chardal; Hebrew: חרד״ל, acronym for חרדי לאומי‎ Ḥaredi Le'umi, lit. '"Nationalist Haredi"', plural Hardalim) usually refers to the portion of the Religious Zionist Jewish community in Israel which inclines significantly toward Haredi ideology (in terms of outlook on the secular world, or in their stringent khumra approach to Halakha). In their approach to the State of Israel, though, they are very much Zionist, and believe that Israel is Atchalta De'Geula.

Hardal Jews are also known as Torani (lit., "Torah-oriented"), or Torani-Leumi ("Torahic Nationalist").
