Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Lod

The name is derived from the Biblical city of Lod, and it was a significant Judean town from the Maccabean Period to the early Christian period. By modern times the city had only retained a very small Jewish community, who were forced to leave by the 1911 Arab riots. The city of Lod has experienced a religious revival in recent years as the city’s Garin Torani grows.
