Bene Beraq (בני-ברק; unofficially also spelled Bnei Brak) is a city in Israel, on the central coastal strip, just east of Tel Aviv, and part of the metropolis known as Gush Dan, the Tel Aviv District. It has about 160,000 residents, most of whom are Haredi Jews. Many Hasidic communities exist there and Bene Braq has been a famous city to have Hasidic Rebbes. The famous 20th Century Rabbi, Avraham Karelitz, known as the Chazon Ish moved there and built up the city.
