Beit Shemesh Today
It is generally assumed that the predominant Torah observant cities in Eretz Yisroel are Yerushalayim and Bnei Brak. But for people aged 40 and younger that is no longer the case.
A full two generations have been, for the most part, priced out of the main cities do to the explosive growth of recent decades. Spread across nine different enclaves, each with its own unique character and flavor, the primary metropolis of tomorrow's Torah community is Beit Shemesh. It outnumbers Yerushalayim and Bnei Brak by large numbers in its count of school age children and younger avreichim.
