Hi folks,
Nothing major to report but with spring fever in the air, it appears that people are getting an appetite. There are a growing number of requests as to the supervision of Jerusalem restaurants. Here is a list updated as of today. The list is by far not comprehensive and many many reliable restaurants are not listed. Time factor as usual.
The order is not significant and once again, JKN does not endorse or recommend restaurants, but does point out if an establishment does use one of the unauthorized kashrut agencies as defined by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.
A word of caution – I checked the www.eluna.com website and it is just fine for getting discount coupons and restaurant contact information. The kashrut information is not up-to-date in many cases, and some restaurants listed as “mehadrin” or other terms indicating stricter supervision rely on the unauthorized agencies. All of the Jerusalem restaurants listed below in the first section are listed under the “Glatt and Mehadrin Category” of eLuna.
I strongly urge you to always check for a valid kashrut certificate in any restaurant before being seated since changes occur frequently.

Hi, good post. I have been wondering about this issue,so thanks for posting. I’ll definitely be coming back to your site.
Hi,
I was wondering about the frozen yogurt store “Fruit Bar” on Emek Refaim. It had a te’uda that says that only the fruits and vegetables are under supervision of the Rabbanut. What does that mean? Is the yogurt not kosher? Is the store not kosher? Why would they give a hashgacha then on the fruit?
