Viewing cable 09TELAVIV717, WELCOME TO ISRAEL
If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs
Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
- The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
- The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
- The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #09TELAVIV717.

SUBJECT: WELCOME TO ISRAEL
¶1. The Embassy Community is very happy to welcome you to Tel Aviv.
This is one of three information cables that will be sent to you
from post. The three cables are (1) Welcome to Israel, (2) TMTHREE
- Welcome to Post, and (3) Shipping Instructions. The following
information should help make your transition to Israel smoother and
answer some of the questions you may have.
¶2. About the post
Embassy Tel Aviv is one of the most exciting, high profile,
Embassies in the world. It hosts frequent visits by the President,
Secretary of State, other Cabinet Members, Congressional
Delegations, Flag Officers, and Naval Ship Visits. The ongoing
peace process provides numerous opportunities to witness history in
the making.
The address of the Embassy is 71 Hayarkon Street, Tel Aviv 63903,
Israel. The Embassy Phone number is 972 (3) 519-7575. Most mission
employees work in the Chancery, but employees of USAID and Public
Diplomacy work in separate facilities near the Embassy. The Embassy
warehouse and most of the GSO section, along with the Defense
Contract Management Agency (DCMA), United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and The Open Source Center (formerly the Foreign
Broadcast Information Service) are located in Herzliya Pituach.
These offices are approximately 10 miles north of Tel Aviv. The
Embassy hours are 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except
for DCMA, which operates on the regular Israeli workweek of Sunday
to Thursday.
¶3. Visas
Israel requires visas for holders of diplomatic and official
passports. All personnel posted to Tel Aviv must obtain Israeli
visas from the nearest Israeli Embassy or Consulate prior to arrival
in Israel.
¶4. In-processing at post
Human Resources Assistant Ms. Lyndall Leitman (LEITMANLL@STATE.GOV)
will arrange with your office sponsor to check you and your family
in upon your arrival. This normally happens the first workday after
your arrival. All employees are requested to bring four (4)
passport-size photos with, for yourself and your dependents over the
age of 16.
¶5. Pre-Arrival Information & Sponsorship
Post's pre-arrival kit, includes useful information on Embassy
services, the city of Tel Aviv and Israel in general. You can
request a copy of the most recent embassy newsletter, "The Tel Aviv
Star", by providing the CLO with your preferred email address at
CLOtelaviv@state.gov. In addition, the video "Welcome to Tel Aviv",
is available at the Overseas Briefing Center and on the post
intranet site. It will give you a visual tour of the mission,
housing, schools, city and country. You may also access the CLO
website at www.tlvstar.com to get additional information about life
at post. This is a password protected site so please contact the CLO
for the user name and password.
When Post receives information of your pending arrival, your
agency/section head will assign an office sponsor, who is
responsible for many of the administrative details prior to your
arrival.
The CLO will make every effort to assign a community sponsor for you
once your housing assignment is made. The community sponsor serves
in a voluntary capacity and will introduce you to the neighborhood
and general surroundings following your arrival. A "good neighbor
alert" is also initiated by informing all of your closest neighbors
of your arrival and location.
Prior to your arrival at post, please consider the CLO office as
your primary point of contact for any questions related to
day-to-day living in Israel.
¶6. Medical
The Embassy maintains a Health Unit at the Embassy, with a branch
office open sually once a week in Herzliya Pituach, the northen
suburb where many families live. A Foreign Service Health
Practitioner (FSHP), a locally hired RN and Administrative Assistant
staff the units, treating acute illnesses, chronic medical problems
and providing immunizations and preventive health.
Israel has excellent medical facilities, and standards are generally
very high, but the health care system is often confusing to
newcomers. The Health Unit is there to provide guidance in
navigating a system where language and local norms may seem strange.
Most prescription medications are available locally, but some
common medications are unavailable. The FSHP can write
prescriptions for medications from U.S. pharmacies and insurance
plans. Over-the-counter medications are available in Israel. Some
areas of Israel do not have adequate fluoride in the water, and the
health unit staff can provide you with information and fluoride
supplements as needed for your children. The tap water in major
cities in Israel is safe to drink, though may have a bad taste due
to high mineral content.
If you work for a Foreign Service Agency you are required to obtain
your updated Medical Clearance from MED Washington prior to arriving
at Post. If you have special needs or concerns please contact the
health unit (972-3-519-7323) or the Office of Medical Services in
Washington, prior to arrival.
¶7. Shipping
Complete information on shipping your personal effects and POV can
be found in the shipping instruction cable (septel). All
information regarding vehicles can be found in paragraphs eight,
nine, and ten of the shipping instructions cable. If you did not
receive it, please notify us as soon as possible, as the shipping
instructions are vital to ensure a smooth shipment of your HHE, UAB
and POV. Be sure to check with post to ensure your vehicle conforms
to Israeli import regulations, which differ from American vehicle
specifications. Comprehensive shipping information can be found on
Embassy Tel Aviv's intranet web site under the GSO Shipping
heading.
One reminder: Please remember to hand carry your packing lists for
both HHE and UAB to Tel Aviv as well as your POV registration/title
so we can institute customs clearance without delay. These can also
be faxed to GSO at 972 (9) 955-8656.
Special Note: Food & Drink Contents: Please contact GSO Shipping
before sending such items in your shipments.
¶8. Pets
Information on shipping your pet can be found in paragraph 12 of the
shipping instruction cable. More detailed information can also be
found on Tel Aviv's Intranet site at http://10.193.128.11. Go to the
GSO/Shipping section for information. Pet food and kitty litter are
readily available at the employee association co-op and on the local
economy. There are several qualified veterinarians in Israel.
¶9. Firearms
Government of Israel (GOI) prohibits the importation of and/or
possession of firearms for other than official purposes. Personal
weapons cannot be shipped to post. For information on importing
official use weapons or for further information please contact the
RSO office.
¶10. Mail
Tel Aviv is an APO post. Please contact your office sponsor for your
correct office mailbox number prior to making arrangements to
forward mail items to post. Please check in with the APO mailroom
staff immediately upon arrival to ensure your mail has been arriving
and is addressed correctly. The correct address format for personal
and official mail is:
Personal: (Your Name)
PSC 98, Box (see comment above)
APO AE 09830
Official: (Your Section)
Attn: (Name of official representing that section)
Unit 7228, Box (see comments above)
APO AE 09830
NOTE: Never include "Tel Aviv" or "Israel" in your personal or
official addresses. Indicating either of the above could
significantly delay mail transit times.
¶11. International courier
Sending any items other than documents through an international
courier service is not recommended. From Post's experience, sending
goods through such services has proven costly to the individual due
to airport storage and paperwork fees. Use of APO is both faster
and less expensive.
¶12. Travel plans
Please advise your agency/section representative ASAP of your firm
travel plans including flight number, date and time of arrival.
Post will arrange for your sponsor to meet and greet you at the
airport and escort you to your home.
¶13. Embassy Recreation Center
The Recreation Center is located in Kfar Shmaryahu, which is
approximately 10 miles north of Tel Aviv near Embassy housing. The
indoor recreation center includes a small gym, media room, game and
meeting rooms. The outdoor recreation center includes a tennis
court, adult and children pools, and a snack bar for personal use.
Games and social events scheduled there, primarily during spring,
summer, and fall by the CLO.
¶14. School
Most Mission children attend the Walworth Barbour American
International School (AIS) in Israel. Requests for enrollment
applications and specific questions about the program should be
directed to the school at:
P.O. Box 484
64 Hashomron Street
Even Yehuda
40500, Israel
Tel: 972 (9) 890-1000 or 972 (9) 890-1001
Email: aisrael@wbais.org
Or
Elementary program (fifth grade): pisraels@wbais.org
In addition to contacting the school, please contact the CLO by
email or fax with the names, birth dates and grades your
child/children will be entering upon arrival as soon as your
assignment is confirmed. Since a large number of diplomatic children
in Israel attend AIS, CLO will ensure that the school is notified of
your child/children's arrival. CLOTELAVIV@STATE.GOV
Fax: 972 (3) 510-4415
Note that enrollment at AIS is contingent upon the student's ability
to meet the academic standards set forth by AIS.
If you have a child with special needs, please understand that the
school has limited capabilities for handling either mentally or
physically challenged children. If AIS is unable to accommodate a
child, there are few, if any, outside educational options available
in English. It is in your best interest to contact the school in
advance and have a thorough diagnostic work-up prior to arrival, and
to hand carry all records with you.
Upon arrival all students are required to make an appointment with
the school for placement testing.
Preschool
AIS offers a preschool in Kfar Shmaryahu as well, with half-day
classes for children, ages 2-5, an After School Care Program, and a
Mommy, Daddy, and Me Program for ages 1-2.
AIS offers three classes with an enrollment of 10-16 students per
class; the Ducklings, ages 2-3 (maximum class size: 10), the Teddy
Bears, ages 3-4 (maximum class size: 12) and the Stars, ages 4-5
(maximum class size 16). AEIP employs qualified and experienced
teachers and maintains an excellent student/teacher ratio under the
guidance by the National Association of Education for Young Children
(NAEYC). Space is limited so early enrollment is recommended.
The After School Care Program runs from 12:30 p.m. - 4 p.m., Monday
through Thursday, and 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. on Friday. The program
is supervised by an adult After School Program teacher. Activities
include swimming, games, cooking, reading and learning fun.
The Mommy, Daddy and Me program is a two hour interactive program
offered twice a week at AEIP. The program is led by a certified
teacher who specializes in early childhood education.
¶15. Family Member Employment
The Bilateral Work Agreement between Israel and the United States
allows spouses to obtain unrestricted work permits which allow the
bearer to work for any employer in Israel. The work permit
application process is initiated at post and takes 2-4 weeks to
obtain and is issued for one year at a time and can be extended up
to 63 months. Dependents interested in working on the local
economy are encouraged to contact Devorie Friedman, GEI/SNAP Global
Employment Advisor, at FriedmanDR@state.gov. The Global Employment
Advisor provides an array of services, such as culturally
appropriate resume preparation and interviewing techniques,
briefings on cross-cultural issues, networking assistance, job
listings, workshops, work permit applications, and one-on-one career
counseling.
Although many positions in Israel require Hebrew fluency, Israel's
large hi-tech industry offers numerous job opportunities, in
positions such as IT, marketing, sales/customer service, technical
writing, business consultancy, and more. There is a large demand
for computer programmers and engineers, as many multinational
corporations have established research centers in Israel, including
Intel, HP, and IBM. There is also a demand for English teachers,
particularly in international schools, such as the American
International School, and private language institutes, such as
Berlitz or The Wall Street Institute. Although lawyers and
accountants will encounter steep competition in Israel, there are
private firms and international organizations that seek
professionals with US training. Salaries in Israel are generally
lower than in the United States, particularly for entry-level
positions. Local taxes will be deducted from the salary. All open
positions within the Mission and through GEI/SNAP are advertised in
the GEI/SNAP newsletter and on Embassy bulletin boards.
There are a variety of EFM positions within the Embassy, including
Consular Associate positions, HR Assistant, ESTH Assistant, IT
Assistant and OMS rover positions.
¶16. Domestic employees
Domestic employees can be hired locally or from abroad. In either
case a sponsor must fill out an undertaking and visa application,
and provide national and work accident insurance, which can be
obtained from the Human Resources Office. The Israeli Ministry of
Foreign Affairs approves all requests for domestic hire. If you are
interested in bringing domestic help with you to Israel please
contact Human Resources Assistant Avivit (Vivi) Martziel at
MARTZIELAX@STATE.GOV.
¶17. Living in Israel
Many Israelis speak English but knowledge of Hebrew is an asset.
The Embassy has some language classes and language programs are
readily available for family members both through the Embassy and on
the local market funds permitting. It is also possible to enroll in
"Ulpan", intensive language programs on the local economy.
Dress in Israel is casual for most occasions. Formal attire is
rarely used. Normal street-wear and sports jackets prove to be
useful year round, reserving a suit and tie for the winter and
special occasions. If you have high-schoolers, they too will need
attire for the winter ball and prom, both sponsored by the American
International School.
While Tel Aviv is a metropolitan post, security concerns restrict
employees from using most forms of public transportation. Although
transportation to/from work can usually be arranged, most employees
find it useful to have at least one POV at post.
Please note: A second duty-free car/motorcycle may only be imported
or purchased if the employee is accompanied to post by a dependent
with a valid drivers license and that the dependant is not an
Israeli citizen. I.e. Local MFA regulations state that a dependent
holding dual US/Israeli citizenship that enters Israel as the
dependent of a U.S. diplomat will be considered a local citizen and
will not be afforded any diplomatic right. (Please see the separate
Shipping cable for more information).
Summers are hot and humid in the coastal areas and very hot and dry
in the desert. By contrast, the winters are quite chilly and damp.
Snow falls in the northern regions and even in Jerusalem. December
through March is the rainy season, during which time there will be
considerable temperature variations between the highlands and the
coastal areas. Jerusalem is considerably cooler than Tel Aviv
throughout the year. You will need light winter clothing, and
dressing in layers is the norm. Due to both its religious
atmosphere and cooler climate, dress in Jerusalem tends to be more
conservative than in Tel Aviv. Each season offers its own unique
sporting activity; you can even snow ski at Mount Hermon on the
Golan Heights. There is no shortage of activities in this country;
it is all dependent upon your interests and budget.
While most consumer items are available in Israel, you may wish to
include a supply of your "favorites" in your HHE. Israel produces
many items, resulting in fewer imports and fewer American products
on the shelves.
Please consider your holiday needs when packing your HHE. Christmas
ornaments and decorations are difficult to obtain on the local
market. Although the Foreign Ministry provides a cut tree to each
household upon request, the selection is very limited, and
artificial trees are not available locally. Decorations for other
American holidays are similarly lacking.
It may seem there is a lot to absorb in coming to Tel Aviv, but we
can assure you that post will respond to any questions you may have
as soon as possible. E-mail is widely available at this post, and
we strongly urge you to use it. Keep the CLO informed of any
changes and provide us with any pertinent information so your
arrival and settling-in will be as easy as possible.
Credit card services are readily available in Israel. MasterCard,
Visa and American Express are widely accepted as well as the
IsraCard, EuroCard, and Barclaycard.
We look forward to your arrival. We wish you a pleasant trip and a
rewarding tour in Israel.
¶18. Preparing your OpenNet and Class Net computer account for
migration.
For State Department employees, in order to have your existing
OpenNet plus and classified ClassNet user accounts migrated to Tel
Aviv, you will need to do the following:
Provide your current OpenNet plus and ClassNet systems
administrators with the following information before you leave:
a. Departure date
b. Onward assignment
c. Reporting date
d. State Department email addresses (example:
doejx@state.govmailto:doejx@state.gov and
doejx@state.sgov.gov)
Ask them to open tickets with the info center
(INFOCENTER@STATE.GOV MAILTO:INFOCENTER@STATE.GOV) in order to
coordinate your account moves. Once this is completed, notify your
new supervisor or section that you will be arriving and request that
they submit an OpenNet access request to the Tel Aviv ISC and a
ClassNet CableExpress access request to the IPC.
