Beit Hazon (Hebrew: בֵּית חָזוֹן, lit. Hazon House) is a neighbourhood of Kfar Haroeh in central Israel. The neighbourhood is generally regarded to be a communal settlement, but is not recognised as a separate entity by the local authority, Hefer Valley Regional Council.
The neighbourhood was formed by a group of immigrants from England, South Africa and the United States. It was named after Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz, who was also known as Hazon Ish.
