Kosher Restaurants in Beit Shemesh, Page 2
Beit Shemesh and its Ramat Beit Shemesh neighborhoods are home to one of Israel's largest Anglo and American Orthodox communities, which shapes a dining scene built almost entirely around strict kashrut. Nearly every eatery here is kosher, but the community places heavy weight on the tier of supervision, so Mehadrin and Badatz certifications dominate over the basic local Rabbanut teudah. Common Badatz authorities you will see on the wall include Badatz Beit Yosef, Badatz Yoreh Deah (Harav Machpud), Badatz Rav Rubin, and Badatz Eidah HaChareidis. Diners routinely check the physical teudah on-site because supervision can change.
Kosher food clusters in a few spots: the Big Fashion mall and the Sha'ar Ha'ir complex on Yigal Alon in the newer part of Beit Shemesh, and the neighborhood commercial centers of Ramat Beit Shemesh Alef along Nahal Maor, Nahal Dolev, Nahal Tze'elim, and Menachem Porush. Almost everything closes Friday afternoon and reopens after Shabbat, so plan around the early Friday shutdown. Many meat and pizza spots offer local delivery within Ramat Beit Shemesh, and buses connect the RBS neighborhoods to the older city center and Big Fashion.
