The Zomet Institute (Template:Lang-he) was established in Alon Shvut, Gush Etzion by rabbi Yisrael Rozen.

The purpose of the institute is to be a bridge between modern technology and Halakha, the Jewish religious law.

Among the most notable activities of the institute is development of solutions for operating electrical appliance on the Shabbat. Appliances made by the institute are used in Jewish observant homes and also in public organizations such as hospitals[1] and Israel Defense Forces[2] bases.
