Beit Jimal or Beit Jamal (Arabic: بيت جمال, romanized: Bayt al-Jamāl, lit. 'House of the Camel') is a Catholic monastery run by Salesian priests and brothers near Beit Shemesh, Israel. The Christian tradition identifies the site with the Roman- and Byzantine-era Jewish village of Caphargamala (כפר גמלא), and believe that inside a cave in the area, there is the tomb of Saint Stephen or to have conserved his relics.
