Kashrus & Hechsher
Is Prima Palace Jerusalem kosher, and is it mehadrin?
Yes — Prima Palace Jerusalem on Pines Street, near Geulah and Mea Shearim, is a fully mehadrin hotel under Badatz Agudat Yisrael supervision. It runs a homestyle kosher kitchen and is one of four Jerusalem hotels that JRM books, verified August 2026.
Prima Palace holds a Badatz Agudat Yisrael certificate, which covers the hotel's kitchen. The hotel's Shabbos infrastructure includes a Shabbos elevator, an on-site shul with daily minyanim, a men's mikveh on-site, daily Daf Yomi shiur, and netilas-yadayim basins in most rooms. The neighborhood setting — Pines Street, a short walk from Geulah and Mea Shearim — means that Shabbos walks to the Old City are 30–35 minutes on foot, and the surrounding area is densely frum with multiple minyan options nearby.
The two Badatz organizations are distinct: both are private, higher-than-Rabbanut standards; Eida HaChareidis is the stricter of the two. Families whose rav specifically requires Badatz Eida HaChareidis should book Haneviim Boutique; for Badatz Agudat Yisrael, Prima Palace is the JRM-verified option. For mehadrin under Rabbanut Yerushalayim Mehadrin plus OU, Jerusalem Gate is the JRM option. JRM re-confirms Prima Palace's hechsher tier in writing per booking.
