Major Jewish rabbinical court A badatz ( plural batei din ) is a major Jewish beth din ( rabbinical court). The term is a modern one, and is an acronym for beit din tzedek ("court of Justice"). 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 use the title as well. It is often used in the context of hechsherim ( kashrut certification).
