Is there a list of hechshers that a place like BJJ accepts. Dd keeps calling me from Israel and asking me about random restaurants and hechshers in random cities in Israel. For example is badatz always a good hechsher in all restaurants in cities in Israel?

Is she in BJJ? She should ask them for the list of hechsherim they allow. They can't expect girls from America to know which hechsherim they use!

It gets complicated once you leave Jerusalem. Pesach time even further complicates things. The sem doesn't have a list?

Hard one to answer because subjective. Eida chareidas is the most accepted by everyone.
Badatz what? Because badatz just means beis din tzedek and might not be good.

I can tell you what we hold are good but again that doesn't help you much.
Eida chareidas
Landau
Rubin
Kehillos

It depends who you ask and if you're ashkenazi or sefardi.
But I'd be pretty certain BJJ would be perfectly fine with Badatz Eidah HaChareidis, Rubin, and Landau. Other ones it depends who you ask.

Not that I know of.
She can ask the Halacha Rabbi in her seminary for a list of which hechsherim he approves of.

If you choose kasher lamehadrin on wolt
can you be sure that it meets the BJJ or similar standard of kashrus?

Doubtful. They probably include any mehadrin hechsher, which is much more inclusive. For example rabbanut mehadrin yerushalyim is a mehadrin hechsher, but certainly not "top" like eida chareidis, rubin, landau.

Hechsherim in Israel are very complex.
I personally ask my Rav and just trust him.
I do think that BMG has a list of Israeli hechsherim that they accept.

No. Not at all...
I'm nowhere near as strict as they would be at BJJ and I don't eat from half those places...

It is complicated. I also had a daughter in bjj and they really didn’t give any guidance. It is their shita in many things but made this in particular very complicated.

You can email znt kosher. They are run by rav Shmuel Wiener who is a charedi American rav in Ramat eshkol who started the kashrus organization to help Americans navigate the kashrus situation in Israel. They have a google doc with acceptable places in many cities and are very responsive to emailed questions.
