Question 1

What is the best hotel in Jerusalem for a frum bar mitzvah?

Accepted Answer

There is no single “best” hotel — the best bar mitzvah hotel is the one that matches your rav’s hechsher, seudah guest count, and multi-gen room needs. JRM places families at Prima Palace for large Badatz Agudat Yisrael seudos, Yirmiyahu 33 for Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati with amenities, Haneviim Boutique when Badatz Eida HaChareidis is required near the Old City, and Jerusalem Gate when large contiguous room blocks matter most.

Question 2

Can JRM arrange a private airport transfer to my Jerusalem hotel?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for families, late landings, and Motzei Shabbos arrivals we can pre-book a private transfer from Ben Gurion to your hotel. Pricing depends on vehicle size and time; we confirm the driver plan in writing with your reservation package.

Question 3

How do I book a multi-room family block in a Jerusalem kosher hotel?

Accepted Answer

Multi-room blocks are reserved as a coordinated request: room count, connecting vs nearby, bed types, and any grandparents’ mobility needs. JRM submits the block to the hotel and only treats rooms as held when the hotel confirms the inventory in writing.

Question 4

How do I confirm a hotel’s Pesach kitniyos and gebrochts policy?

Accepted Answer

Never assume kitniyos or gebrochts policy from a year-round hechsher label. For Pesach we obtain the hotel’s written program policy (kitniyos, gebrochts, shmura matza) for that specific year and put it in your confirmation package.

Question 5

Can I use the light rail to reach Romema kosher hotels?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Romema hotels including Yirmiyahu 33 and Jerusalem Gate sit near light-rail and central bus/train connections. Walking minutes from the nearest stop depend on exact entrance and luggage; we map the practical path in your brief.

Question 6

What event hall capacity do JRM Jerusalem hotels offer?

Accepted Answer

Event capacity differs by hotel: Yirmiyahu 33 lists meeting/event space up to about 120 guests; Haneviim Boutique lists an event hall up to about 100; Prima Palace handles larger seudos with its banquet team. Exact capacity for your floor plan is confirmed with the hotel for your date.

Question 7

Does Yirmiyahu 33 have separate swimming hours for men and women?

Accepted Answer

Yirmiyahu 33 offers a pool and spa with separate men’s and women’s hours; the pool and spa are closed on Shabbos and Yom Tov. Exact hour schedules change seasonally and are confirmed for your dates at booking.

Question 8

Can I get a room fridge for medicine at a Jerusalem kosher hotel?

Accepted Answer

In-room fridges for medicine are often available on request but are not guaranteed on every room type. We request a medical fridge or mini-fridge at booking and confirm the room assignment before arrival.

Question 9

Do Jerusalem kosher hotels provide cribs for babies?

Accepted Answer

Crib availability is inventory-dependent by date and hotel. JRM requests cribs (or pack-and-plays where offered) at booking and only treats them as confirmed when the hotel confirms the unit for your dates in writing.

Question 10

Can I check in late on Friday to a Jerusalem kosher hotel?

Accepted Answer

Late Friday check-in is possible only if you arrive before the hotel’s Shabbos cutoff and the desk is still processing arrivals. For flights that land close to candle lighting, we plan an earlier arrival buffer or Motzei Shabbos check-in instead of gambling on Friday afternoon traffic.

Question 11

How do Shabbos key cards work at Jerusalem kosher hotels?

Accepted Answer

Most JRM hotels issue a Shabbos-mode key or electronic key programmed not to write to the lock system on Shabbos. Exact key procedure varies by property and is confirmed in your pre-arrival brief — never invent a brand/model claim without hotel confirmation.

Question 12

Which Jerusalem hotels have connecting rooms for frum families?

Accepted Answer

Connecting and adjoining room availability changes by date and hotel inventory. Among JRM hotels, families often request connecting rooms at Yirmiyahu 33 and Jerusalem Gate (larger room stocks) and apartment-style setups at Haneviim Boutique — we confirm exact connecting-room inventory for your dates before booking.

Question 13

Which Jerusalem hotels have a Mashgiach Temidi?

Accepted Answer

Among the kosher hotels JRM books in Jerusalem, Yirmiyahu 33 in Romema has a Mashgiach Temidi — a full-time kosher supervisor on premises at all times — as part of its Mehadrin certification by HaRav Efrati.

Question 14

Which Jerusalem hotel has Badatz Eida HaChareidis kashrus?

Accepted Answer

Of the four hotels JRM books, Haneviim Boutique on Haneviim Street holds Badatz Eida HaChareidis — Glatt LeMehadrin year-round — the strictest widely-accepted standard. For Pesach it runs non-kitniyos, non-gebrochts, with Shmura Matza throughout.

Question 15

What is the difference between Badatz Eida HaChareidis and Badatz Agudat Yisrael at Jerusalem hotels?

Accepted Answer

They are two different chareidi supervising bodies, not levels of the same one. Among JRM hotels, Haneviim Boutique is under Badatz Eida HaChareidis and Prima Palace is under Badatz Agudat Yisrael — both stringent and widely accepted, but families are usually loyal to one based on their rav or kehillah.

Question 16

What is the most affordable kosher hotel in Jerusalem for a frum family?

Accepted Answer

Of the four hotels JRM books, Jerusalem Gate in Romema is the most affordable. It is a 298-room glatt kosher hotel under Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU supervision, with direct access to Center One Shopping Mall.

Question 17

Which kosher hotel in Jerusalem is closest to the Kosel for a frum family?

Accepted Answer

Of the four hotels JRM books, Haneviim Boutique on Haneviim Street is the closest to the Old City and Kosel — roughly a 25–30 minute walk via Jaffa Gate. Most families walk on Shabbos and take a taxi or the light rail during the week.

Question 18

Which kosher hotel in Jerusalem is closest to the Machane Yehuda market (the shuk)?

Accepted Answer

Of the four hotels JRM books, Haneviim Boutique in central Jerusalem is the closest to Machane Yehuda — it sits within walking distance of the shuk, and the light rail (which stops at Machane Yehuda) runs nearby for an easy ride there and on through the city. Prima Palace near Geulah is the next closest.

Question 19

Which kosher hotel is best for staying near Geulah and Mea Shearim?

Accepted Answer

Prima Palace at 2a Pines Street is the JRM hotel set right by Geulah and Mea Shearim, in the frum heart of Jerusalem. It holds Badatz Agudat Yisrael kashrus with an on-site shul, an on-site men's mikveh, and a daily Daf Yomi shiur.

Question 20

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel is closest to the light rail and central bus station?

Accepted Answer

The two Romema hotels JRM books — Yirmiyahu 33 and Jerusalem Gate — are closest to the central bus station and the light rail. Yirmiyahu 33 is about a 5-minute walk to the central bus and train station, with buses stopping directly in front.

Question 21

Are the JRM kosher hotels inside the Jerusalem eruv?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all four hotels JRM books (Yirmiyahu 33, Prima Palace, Haneviim Boutique, and Jerusalem Gate) are within the Jerusalem city eruv, so you can carry on Shabbos within the eruv's bounds. Prima Palace's eruv status is confirmed weekly.

Question 22

Which kosher hotel in Jerusalem has a pool and spa with separate hours?

Accepted Answer

Yirmiyahu 33 in Romema is the JRM hotel with a full spa and pool, run with separate men's and women's hours and closed on Shabbos and Yom Tov. It also has a gym, Turkish bath, sauna, and hydrotherapy pool.

Question 23

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel has an on-site mikveh for men and women?

Accepted Answer

Haneviim Boutique has an on-site mikveh for both men and women. Prima Palace has an on-site men's mikveh, with a women's mikveh nearby coordinated by the hotel.

Question 24

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel has free parking with electric car charging?

Accepted Answer

Yirmiyahu 33 in Romema has free underground parking with electric-car charging stations for guests. Jerusalem Gate offers free parking at the adjacent Center One mall (subject to availability), and Prima Palace has limited free parking on a first-come, first-served basis.

Question 25

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel is connected to a shopping mall?

Accepted Answer

Jerusalem Gate in Romema connects directly to Center One Shopping Mall, which has restaurants, shops, and currency exchange — and hotel guests get free entrance to the Center One Fitness Club.

Question 26

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel has a rabbi on premises and a daily Daf Yomi shiur?

Accepted Answer

Haneviim Boutique has a rabbi on premises full time, a daily Daf Yomi shiur, and a library of seforim for guests. Prima Palace also runs a daily Daf Yomi shiur from 7:00 to 7:45 AM alongside its on-site shul with daily minyanim.

Question 27

What is the largest kosher hotel in Jerusalem for a big group?

Accepted Answer

Jerusalem Gate is the largest of the hotels JRM books, with 298 rooms — which makes it the practical choice for shul missions, yeshiva and seminary parent weekends, and multi-family groups that need to stay together under one roof. Group rates are available for 10+ rooms.

Question 28

Which Jerusalem hotel is best for a yeshiva or seminary parent weekend?

Accepted Answer

For a yeshiva or seminary parent weekend — where many families travel on the same Shabbos — Jerusalem Gate is usually the best base: 298 rooms hold the whole group together, with glatt kosher dining under Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU and a Shabbos elevator.

Question 29

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel is best for hosting a simcha or sheva brachos?

Accepted Answer

Prima Palace near Geulah is the JRM hotel with the strongest banquet and simcha infrastructure under Badatz Agudat Yisrael, making it a common choice for a seudah or sheva brachos. Haneviim Boutique (event hall up to 100, Badatz Eida HaChareidis) and Yirmiyahu 33 (event space up to 120, Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati) are the alternatives by hechsher and size.

Question 30

What is the best hotel in Jerusalem for a frum family of 6 that keeps Badatz Eida HaChareidis?

Accepted Answer

For a frum family of six that keeps Badatz Eida HaChareidis, Haneviim Boutique is the fit among the JRM hotels: it is the one of the four under Badatz Eida HaChareidis, has family deluxe rooms plus larger apartments, and is the closest of the four to the Old City and Kosel.

Question 31

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel has luxury apartments for a large family?

Accepted Answer

Haneviim Boutique offers 8 luxury apartments that each sleep 7–10 guests, under Badatz Eida HaChareidis. They require a 2-night minimum and do not include meals (the hotel rooms do), so they suit a large family that wants space and self-catering flexibility.

Question 32

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel is best for Anglo or first-time families?

Accepted Answer

Yirmiyahu 33 in Romema sits in an Anglo-friendly part of Jerusalem with a lot of English spoken and shopping nearby, which makes it an easy landing spot for first-time and American families — plus Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati, resort amenities, and a 5-minute walk to the central bus and train station.

Question 33

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel has accessible rooms for a guest with mobility limits?

Accepted Answer

Yirmiyahu 33 has accessible rooms (some with balconies) and a Shabbos elevator, and as a new property it was built with current accessibility standards in mind — we confirm the exact room setup for your needs before booking — a strong choice when a guest has mobility limits. We confirm the specific accessible-room layout and the shortest step-free routes for your dates before booking.

Question 34

Do the JRM kosher hotels have a Shabbos elevator?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all four hotels JRM books (Yirmiyahu 33, Prima Palace, Haneviim Boutique, and Jerusalem Gate) run a Shabbos elevator. The exact stopping schedule varies by hotel and by Shabbos, and we confirm the specific timing in your pre-arrival brief.

Question 35

What are the Shabbos check-in and checkout times at Jerusalem kosher hotels?

Accepted Answer

Shabbos timing differs by property. At Haneviim Boutique, Shabbos check-in is 12:00 PM erev Shabbos and checkout is one hour after Shabbos ends; apartments follow the same Shabbos pattern. We confirm each hotel's exact erev-Shabbos check-in and Motzei Shabbos checkout for your dates before booking.

Question 36

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel is best for Pesach if we keep non-gebrochts and non-kitniyos?

Accepted Answer

Haneviim Boutique runs Pesach as non-kitniyos and non-gebrochts with Shmura Matza throughout, under Badatz Eida HaChareidis — the JRM hotel that matches a strict non-gebrochts, non-kitniyos standard out of the box. Pesach programs at the other hotels vary by year, so we confirm the mashgiach, gebrochts status, and kitniyos arrangements before booking.

Question 37

Do the kosher hotels in Jerusalem have a sukkah for Sukkos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A kosher hotel running a Sukkos stay in Jerusalem provides a hotel-built sukkah for guests’ seudos — eating in the sukkah is the mitzvah of the chag, so a communal dining sukkah built to a hechsher-appropriate standard is a given. A private family sukkah is available at several of the hotels JRM books, but it has to be arranged several months in advance. JRM confirms each hotel’s exact sukkah setup — communal versus private, capacity, and that year’s Sukkos program — in writing before you book.

Question 38

Which hotels in Jerusalem are mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

As of July 2026, the Jerusalem hotels under badatz or mehadrin supervision are: Haneviim Boutique (Badatz Eida HaChareidis), Prima Palace (Badatz Agudat Yisrael), Yirmiyahu 33 (Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati with a Mashgiach Temidi), Jerusalem Gate (Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim + OU), Prima Kings and Cassia — formerly the King Solomon (both Glatt Mehadrin under the Jerusalem Rabbinate), and Vert Jerusalem, Hotel Litov, Hotel Lev Yerushalayim, and Ganei Hotel (Rabbanut Mehadrin).

Question 39

What happened to the King Solomon Hotel in Jerusalem?

Accepted Answer

The King Solomon Hotel on King David Street closed for a three-year renovation and reopened in February 2023 as Cassia Jerusalem. It remains a fully kosher hotel — Glatt Kosher Mehadrin under the Jerusalem Rabbinate — with a shul on premises and Shabbat elevators.

Question 40

Which hotels in Jerusalem are glatt kosher?

Accepted Answer

Among the four hotels JRM books, Haneviim Boutique is certified Glatt LeMehadrin under Badatz Eida HaChareidis and Jerusalem Gate holds Glatt Kosher certification under Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU — both document glatt outright. Prima Palace is certified mehadrin under Badatz Agudat Yisrael, and Yirmiyahu 33 is certified Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati (not a badatz) — both sit at the mehadrin/badatz tier frum families rely on, and we confirm the specific glatt policy in writing per booking. The complete tiered directory covers all 23 Jerusalem kosher hotels with their verified certifications.

Question 41

Is the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem is a fully kosher hotel — with an on-site mashgiach and three kosher restaurants under Rabbanut Yerushalayim supervision. Its mehadrin level has varied over time and is verified per booking; families whose standard requires mehadrin or a badatz should confirm before booking or look at mehadrin properties instead.

Question 42

Is the King David Hotel in Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the King David Hotel in Jerusalem is a fully kosher hotel under Jerusalem Rabbinate supervision, but it is not mehadrin. Families whose standard requires mehadrin or a badatz certification should look at Cassia, Haneviim Boutique, Prima Palace, Yirmiyahu 33, or Jerusalem Gate instead.

Question 43

Is the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the David Citadel Hotel (formerly the Hilton Jerusalem) is a fully kosher hotel under Rabbanut Yerushalayim supervision, but it is not mehadrin hotel-wide. Its Veranda meat restaurant states approval by Rav Rubin and Rav Landa, Bishul Beit Yosef, and Shmitta LeChumra under the hotel's rav — that applies to the meat restaurant specifically, not the hotel's overall certification.

Question 44

Is the Inbal Hotel in Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Inbal Hotel in Jerusalem is a fully kosher hotel under standard Rabbanut supervision — satisfying most modern-Orthodox and dati-leumi families — but it is not mehadrin. Families whose standard requires mehadrin or a badatz hechsher should look at mehadrin properties instead.

Question 45

Is the Orient Hotel in Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Orient Hotel Jerusalem — Isrotel's flagship property — is a fully kosher hotel under Rabbanut Yerushalayim supervision, with serious Shabbos infrastructure including a Shabbat elevator and an on-site synagogue, but it is not mehadrin. Agency sites and OTA listings calling it 'mehadrin' are not supported by its own certification.

Question 46

Is the Dan Jerusalem hotel kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Dan Jerusalem hotel on Mount Scopus is a fully kosher hotel under standard Rabbanut supervision, but it is not mehadrin. Families whose standard requires mehadrin or a badatz hechsher should look at mehadrin properties; JRM confirms the Dan's current hechsher level in writing before every booking.

Question 47

Is the Mamilla Hotel in Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Mamilla Hotel is a fully kosher hotel — its kashrut is under the supervision of the Jerusalem Rabbinate — but it is not mehadrin. Families whose standard is mehadrin or a badatz should look at Cassia (Glatt Mehadrin, two minutes away), or at properties like Haneviim Boutique, Prima Palace, or Yirmiyahu 33.

Question 48

Are the Orient, Inbal, Herbert Samuel, and Leonardo Plaza hotels in Jerusalem mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

No. The Orient, Inbal, and Herbert Samuel are all kosher under the standard Jerusalem Rabbinate (Rabbanut Yerushalayim) certificate — none of them is mehadrin or badatz. Leonardo Plaza is also kosher under the standard Rabbanut certificate, though its supervision details can shift between seasons and are verified per booking. A frum family whose standard is mehadrin or a badatz should book from the mehadrin tier instead.

Question 49

Which Jerusalem kosher hotel is closest to Belz (Kiryat Belz)?

Accepted Answer

The two Romema hotels JRM books — Yirmiyahu 33 and Jerusalem Gate, both on Yirmiyahu Street at the entrance to the city — are the closest, roughly a 15-minute walk to Kiryat Belz and the Belzer beis medrash.

Question 50

Can a group get Rav Landau or Eida HaChareidis supervision at a Jerusalem hotel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jerusalem Gate Hotel can arrange Rav Landau or Badatz Eida HaChareidis supervision at extra cost for groups taking 25 or more rooms, on top of its standing Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU certification — a real option for a chassidish or yeshivish group whose members keep a stricter standard.

Question 51

Which Jerusalem hotel has netilas yadayim sinks in the guest rooms?

Accepted Answer

Prima Palace, near Geulah, provides netilas-yadayim handwashing basins in most guest rooms — along with basins in its dining rooms and banquet halls. It is a small but meaningful detail for a family that wants to wash negel vasser first thing without leaving the room.

Question 52

Which Jerusalem hotel has its own Sefer Torah and Beit Midrash?

Accepted Answer

Jerusalem Gate Hotel in Romema has an on-site shul with its own Sefer Torah and both Ashkenaz and Sefard siddurim, plus a Beit Midrash — useful for a group that wants minyanim and a place to learn without leaving the building.

Question 53

Which Jerusalem hotel has a bomb shelter (mammad) on each floor?

Accepted Answer

Yirmiyahu 33 in Romema has a mammad — a secure bomb-shelter room — on each floor. For a family traveling with children, knowing the protected space is on your own floor rather than in a distant basement is genuinely reassuring.

Question 54

How do Shabbos meals work at a kosher hotel in Jerusalem?

Accepted Answer

Shabbos meals at a kosher Jerusalem hotel are cooked before Shabbos and served in the dining room, and they must be reserved in advance — you cannot simply walk in. The Friday-night seudah, the Shabbos-day meal, and seudah shlishis are part of a Shabbos booking; we arrange the reservations as part of every Shabbos stay.

Question 55

What is the cancellation policy at a kosher hotel in Jerusalem?

Accepted Answer

Across the kosher hotels JRM books, cancellations typically carry a processing fee of about 6%, and the free-cancellation window varies by hotel and tightens sharply for Yom Tov — often a month or more before a holiday. We confirm the exact policy in writing before you book.

Question 56

How far ahead should I book a Jerusalem kosher hotel for Yom Tov?

Accepted Answer

For Yom Tov, book months ahead — the chareidi-standard hotels in Jerusalem sell out their best rooms early. As a rule of thumb: start the Pesach conversation in Cheshvan (Oct-Nov), Sukkos in Tamuz-Av (summer), and Yamim Noraim by late winter to early spring. For Shabbos and weekday stays, a few weeks is usually enough.

Question 57

Which kosher hotels in Jerusalem are glatt kosher?

Accepted Answer

Two of the four hotels JRM books document glatt outright: Jerusalem Gate (glatt kosher under Badatz Mehadrin Rabbanut Yerushalayim plus OU) and Haneviim Boutique (Glatt LeMehadrin under Badatz Eida HaChareidis). Prima Palace (Badatz Agudat Yisrael) and Yirmiyahu 33 (Mehadrin by HaRav Efrati) sit at the mehadrin/badatz standard frum families rely on for glatt-level kashrus, and we confirm the specific glatt policy in writing per booking. More broadly, the mehadrin and badatz hotels in Jerusalem serve glatt meat as a baseline; standard-Rabbanut hotels may not.

Question 58

Is there a Mediterranean Hotel in Jerusalem?

Accepted Answer

No currently operating Jerusalem hotel is named "Mediterranean." The historic Mediterranean Hotel operated in the Old City area only in the 19th century (1849–1897), and "Mediterranean Towers" (Migdalei HaYam HaTichon) in Arnona is a senior-living residence, not a hotel, as of our last check. If you saw "Mediterranean" attached to a Jerusalem hotel, it usually refers to a hotel restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine.

Question 59

Can I get kosher room service at a hotel in Israel?

Accepted Answer

Yes — at a fully kosher hotel, room service sits under the same supervision as the dining room, because the hechsher covers the entire food operation, including the room-service line. Haneviim Boutique in Jerusalem, for example, runs Badatz Eida HaChareidis across the entire food operation — including room service and banquet space. At a partially kosher hotel each outlet can sit under a different hechsher or none, so kosher room service must be verified, not assumed.

Question 60

Which kosher hotels in Jerusalem are truly set up for Shabbos?

Accepted Answer

All four hotels JRM books — Yirmiyahu 33, Prima Palace, Haneviim Boutique, and Jerusalem Gate — are real Shabbos hotels: each runs a Shabbos elevator, sits inside the Jerusalem city eruv, has an on-site shul, and serves full Shabbos seudos cooked before Shabbos and reserved in advance. What separates a Shabbos hotel from a merely kosher one is this infrastructure around the meals.

Question 61

What counts as kosher accommodation in Israel — and what does 'fully kosher hotel' actually mean?

Accepted Answer

'Kosher accommodation' in Israel ranges from a fully kosher hotel — where the entire operation, from the main kitchen to the lobby coffee to the room-service line, sits under a single known kashrus authority with a mashgiach — down to 'kosher-style' food with no certificate at all. The label that matters is the hechsher on the whole building, not a kosher restaurant inside it; that is what 'fully kosher hotel' means, and it is the standard at all four hotels JRM books.

Question 62

What does religious hospitality look like at a Jerusalem hotel for a frum family?

Accepted Answer

Religious hospitality in Jerusalem means the details of frum life are built into the hotel rather than requested as favors: a hechsher matched to your rav's standard, a Shabbos elevator inside the city eruv, minyanim in the building — with daily Daf Yomi shiurim at Haneviim Boutique and Prima Palace — mikvaos on-site or coordinated, and seudos reserved before Shabbos. The four hotels JRM books are built this way — and JRM itself is a Brooklyn-based frum family that coordinates the entire trip in English around your family's standards.

Question 63

Where can a frum family take a kosher holiday in northern Israel?

Accepted Answer

For a kosher holiday in northern Israel, the Kinneret is the hub — and it has three genuinely mehadrin options: Kinorot in Tiberias (chef dining under Badatz Eida HaChareidis), Nof Kinneret (Rabbanut Tiberias Mehadrin), and the Kinar Galilee resort on the northeastern shore, mehadrin under R' A.D. Auerbach with a shul, mikveh, eruv, and daily minyanim on the grounds. Ten more Tiberias hotels are kosher at standard Rabbanut — and two famous ones, the Ron Beach and the Restal, are not kosher at all.

Question 64

Is the Herbert Samuel Jerusalem hotel kosher, and is it mehadrin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Herbert Samuel Jerusalem on Shamai Street is a fully kosher hotel under Rabbanut Yerushalayim supervision with a listed mashgiach — but it is not mehadrin. Families whose standard requires mehadrin or a badatz hechsher should look at mehadrin properties instead.
