The Zomet Institute

The Zomet Institute is a non-profit, public research institute dedicated to seamlessly merging Halachic Judaism with Modern Life. For over 40 years our staff of 20 Rabbis, researchers and engineers have devised practical and pragmatic Halachic solutions for institutions, businesses and private citizens. During the past year we have consulted and developed solutions for The Israeli Ministry of Health, The Ministry of Defense, Ben Gurion Airport, Amigo Mobility Corporation, Elite Food Corporation, Tnuva Dairies, Israeli Channel 10 Television and Shindler Elevators. Zomet’s engineers have developed and implemented technologies that enable products such as metal detectors, security jeeps, elevators, electric wheelchairs, and coffee machines to be used on Shabbat. Zomet has published 40 volumes of Tchumin (also available online) which contain more than 15,500 pages of Halachic research and responsa written by leading Rabbis, scholars, scientists, doctors, lawyers, engineers and economists. Shabbat BeShabbato, a parsha bulletin published by Zomet is distributed in Synagogues across Israel and read by over 100,000 people each Shabbat (it can be read in English on our website
