About Bnei Brak

Bnei Brak is a city located on Israel's central Mediterranean coastal plain, just east of Tel Aviv, in the Dan metropolitan region and Tel Aviv District. Bnei Brak was founded as an agricultural village by Yitzchok Gerstenkorn and a group of Polish chasidim. Due to a lack of land many of the founders turned to other occupations and the village began to develop an urban character. Bnei Brak is a center of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Bnei Brak covers an area of 709 hectares. According to figures of the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, at the end of 2013, the population was 171,500, with an annual growth rate of 1.1%. Bnei Brak takes its name from the ancient Biblical city of Beneberak, mentioned in the Tanakh.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Bnei Brak

The population is mainly Jewish with the vast majority Haredi Jews. As the Haredi population grew, the demand for public religious observance increased and more residents requested the closure of their neighbourhoods to vehicular traffic on Shabbat. In a short period of time most of Bnei Brak's secular and Religious Zionist residents migrated elsewhere, and the city has become almost homogeneously Haredi. In the 2013 Israeli legislative elections, 85% of the voters chose Haredi parties. There are many kosher restaurants, cafes and shops in Bnei Brak.
