Finding kosher restaurants

Kosher food is easy to find in Israel, but not all kosher is the same. UNDERSTANDING KASHRUT • Most restaurants display a kashrut certificate (teudat kashrut), usually from the local Rabbinate or a private organization. • Some people only eat at places with a certain level of supervision, such as "mehadrin" or a specific hechsher. Know your standards. • Some restaurants are not kosher at all. Look for the certificate on the wall. HOW TO FIND • Google Maps and Wolt show kosher filters. • Ask your school, your rabbi, and friends. • Use community groups for current recommendations. TIPS • Ask to see the certificate and check that it is current. • Pay attention to Shabbat hours. Many places close from Friday afternoon through Saturday night. • Some kosher restaurants are dairy only or meat only. GOOD TO KNOW • During Pesach, supervision is stricter and many places change or close. Check the certificate for Pesach. • Delivery apps may show kashrut information, but confirm if it matters to you.
