Badatz

Badatz (Hebrew: בד״ץ), a Hebrew acronym for "Beit Din Tzedek," or "Court of Justice," is a modern term used for a major Jewish rabbinical court.

In Israel, the term 'Badatz' is often used to refer to the Badatz of the Edah HaChareidis; however, it is not the title of this group, and other batei din (rabbinical courts) use the title as well. It is often used in the context of hechsherim (kashrut certification).

Rabbinical courts that use this title include:

Badatz Edah HaChareidis from Jerusalem
Badatz Igud Rabbonim of Rabbi Osher Yaakov Westheim
Badatz Chassam Sofer from Bnei Brak
Badatz Mehadrin of Rabbi Simcha HaKohen Kook and Rabbi Avraham Rubin
Badatz Machzikei HaDas of Belz
Badatz Beit Yosef of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef
