Beit Shemesh

It is written in the Tanach, "The people of Beit Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley when they looked up and saw the Ark (of the Covenant). They were happy to see it. The cart entered the field of Y’hoshua of Beit Shemesh and stood there by a big rock."


"They cut up the wood of the cart and offered up the cows as a burnt offering to HaShem. Then the Levi’im removed the Ark of HaShem and the box that was with it, which contained the gold objects, and put them on the big rock. That same day the men of Beit Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrifices to HaShem". Sh’mu’el 6.13-15

Yes it happened once that the Holy Ark of the Covenant was placed on the road to Beit Shemesh. Now it is time for us took take the new road to Beit Shemesh.

Modern day Beit Shemesh is built near the ruins of ancient Beit Shemesh and is poof that our Beloved G-d is keeping His promise to restore our nation as it once was. In fact G-d says in the prophets that He will restore double to His people.

Beit Shemesh is situated on some of the most beautiful land in Israel. Looking out over the green hills is such a pleasant site to the eyes.

According to recent statistics Beit Shemesh is 100 percent Jewish. This city has a population of about 72,000 good Jewish souls. It is a city of districts much of which is made up of immigrant Jews. There are plenty of shopping amenities. Visit the "BIG" shopping plaza or some other one.

Beit Shemesh means literally "House of the Sun" So it may be no coincidence that possibly the worlds leader in Solar technology is found here. Not since the visit of the Ark of the Covenant has such a new light shone from Beit Shemesh. This is the company called Solel Solar Systems.

Solel is the world leader in the development and manufacture of solar thermal collectors for power, heating, cooling and steam generation.




Solar thermal power provides the most comprehensive technology of all renewable energies. Solel is changing the world!


There is regular bus service to Holy Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as Train service. Trains travel from Jerusalem to Beit Shemesh and to Ramla, Lod, Bnei Brak, Petach Tikva, Rosh Ha’ayin and Kfar Saba. Yes you can also go to Tel-Aviv by train. With a connection you could even go to Be’er Sheva. You may not need a car to go to work.

People here enjoy a modern western lifestyle but without the big city crime. We may not be worthy of such a place however G-d made a Covenant with Avraham avinu, which HE has kept. G-d gives his children the best. It is a great place for children. Beit Shemesh has parks and play grounds for the precious little ones.

Bet Shemesh has a local English language newspaper to keep you informed on what is happening in the local Bet Shemesh area. This city has all the amenities you are looking for from banks, health clinics, a shopping mall, drug stores and if you want to go out for a Kosher Pizza you can do that. New Olim are the pulse of this community. Below is Ramat Beit Shemesh.

There is no lack green space or places of recreation. With numerous religious schools you can pick what is best for your children. There is Ashkenazi synagogues, Sefardic, ultra orthodox and Modern orthodox among others. The schools below are in Ramot Beit Shemesh.

Take the Holy road high up to Beit Shemesh.

It was good enough for the Ark of the Covenant it may also be good enough for you.
