Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia have a strategic role in preserving and transforming local wisdom values to the younger generation. This study aims to analyze efforts to revitalize local wisdom values in the Salafiyah Islamic boarding school education system in the modern era. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method in three Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools in East Java. Data collection techniques were carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with kiai, ustadz, and students, and analysis of pesantren curriculum documents. The results show that the revitalization of local wisdom values in Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools is implemented through the integration of yellow book learning with the local socio-cultural context, the application of the value system of tawadhu, ta'dzim, and ukhuwah in the daily lives of students, and the preservation of local traditions such as tahlilan, istighosah, and learning the art of hadrah. This revitalization faces challenges in the form of the influence of globalization, shifting values among the younger generation, and limited resources. However, Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools are still able to maintain their identity through critical adaptation strategies that combine tradition with contemporary needs without losing the essence of their local values.
