Mindfulness training and trait mindfulness are linked to greater psychological well-being and resilience among Orthodox Jewish teachers in Israel.

The study suggests that mindfulness programs should consider participants' religious and cultural backgrounds to improve effectiveness, as generic international models may overlook these needs.
