1. Burgers Bar Geula – Truly Mehadrin
Well, we are making progress as there is one truly mehadrin Burgers Bar restaurant in Jerusalem, opened in recent weeks. It is located in Geula, 8 Yechezkel Street to be precise, under the supervision of Rabbi Rubin. The phone number is 02-650-0605. This burger chain has become extremely popular among visiting American post-high school students, despite the extremely basic level of kashrus maintained in stores. 

The other branches in the capital are either regular Jerusalem Rabbinate [not mehadrin] or have an unauthorized mehadrin sign alongside the Jerusalem Rabbinate.

• I stress that this report refers only to the above-mentioned branch.
•  One must check every branch of any restaurant prior to ordering.
• I also point out [again] that the use of the classification of an “unauthorized hecsher” is the determination of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, not Jerusalem Kosher News.

2. Moshiko Shwarma Update

The store, located on Ben-Yehuda Street in the center of Jerusalem,  is now under the Jerusalem Rabbinate Mehadrin only.

OU-Israel has removed its certification from the store.
