Dear Friends,

Welcome to the new website of the Israel Consulate in San Francisco. We hope our new platform will enable us to serve you better and be an effective resource around the clock.

The website provides services in five areas:

• News – We've brought together a wide array of translated Israeli press, with a focus on political and economic affairs impacting the region.
• Culture – Calendar of Israel related cultural and Israeli House events taking place throughout the Bay area.
• Consular Services – All the information you need relating to passports, visas and other consular matters.
• Business In Israel – How to do business in Israel, and what we can do to help facilitate your investment and partnerships.
• Reference –  information maps, and data about Israel and the modern history of the Middle East

We are not living in the matrix and this site is not intended to replace our personal interaction with you. Please feel free to call our staff or email us with ideas, queries, suggestions and requests.

We welcome your feedback about our new site and how to improve it further. I invite you to take a minute or so to fill out the survey.

Wishing you all the best,
Akiva Tor
Consul General
