Annotation	The present study explored the prevalence of religiousness in a sample of 464 Jewish older women living in 48 residential homes in Israel and its impact on their subjective well-being. The findings revealed that the majority of these residents defined themselves as traditional, orthodox or ultra orthodox. Multiple regression analysis revealed that religiousness did not affect the residents' subjective well-being. (KJ/RH).
