U.S. Embassy FAQ

When will U.S. Embassy staff be coming to Beit Shemesh?
Thursday December 7, 2023

Where will they be seeing people?
At the Nofei Aviv shul (Feigenson)

How many appointments will they be taking?
NOT AS MANY AS USUAL! They are only coming for a couple of hours, which means there will be less than half the usual appointments.

Why is that?
Because they're very busy.

Why don't they come more often?
Because they're very busy. Additionally, they do these types of visits to cities around Israel. That's why they generally only come to Beit Shemesh once a year.

What services will they be providing?
1) Passport services
2) Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA)

Will people from social security be coming?
Unfortunately not this time.

Is this open to people who live outside of BS/RBS?
Unfortunately not. They will only take appointments for residents of Beit Shemesh and Ramat Beit Shemesh.

What do I need to do to sign up for a spot?
Tomorrow- November 23- at 1pm, an email will go out to everyone on the Shemesh list. Additionally, posts will be posted to local Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Those emails/posts will contain a link to a form which must be filled out and submitted.

If I fill out the form, does that mean I have a spot when they come?
No. Again, there is a very limited amount of spots available (around 60).

How will I know if I have a spot?
Ephraim will contact you via email. If you don't hear from him, you're on the waiting list.

If I'm on the waiting list, what are the chances I'll get an appointment?
Small. There are people who cancel and appointments open up but because of the limited number of appointments this time, I don't expect too many to open up.

Can I pay a service to sign me up for an appointment?
I cannot stress this enough:
Do not, I repeat DO NOT pay anyone who claims they can sign you up and get you a spot. You are literally wasting your money. Everyone will have the same chance to log on tomorrow at 1pm and fill in the appropriate form.

Will they be coming again soon to Beit Shemesh?
Probably not. They usually come once a year.

If I have questions, who should I contact?
Please email usembassyin beitshemesh@ gmail .com

  • Forwarded from Anon.....

    If you live in this country, you're blessed and you're proud
    But these noises keep sounding and they're kinda loud.
    I hear in some places they're hearing loud "whistles"
    And then Iron Dome goes exploding some missiles.
    Maybe I'll get up and have me a look? Ah--
    It's just downstairs neighbors dismantling their succah.
    Maybe I'll go and I'll check once again?
    I'd rather be sleeping cause it's 3 AM.

    How can we deal with these noises and dread
    That upset your balance and mess with your head?
    I'll tell you a secret for dealing with them -
    They've got nothing on us - it's only Hashem.

    You know how you just made your bus (when they run)?
    You know how there's beauty and music and fun?
    You know how you woke up today and could hear?
    You know how you've got people who you love dear?

    The source of all that and of booms is the same
    It's the One who's so holy, we don't say His Name
    He chose us for His nation, and we chose Him back
    That bond is rock-solid and never can crack.

    Hashem is behind all this, all's from above
    It's not always pleasant, but always with love
    The bully at school threw a punch, thought he'd won
    'Til he learned he had messed with the principal's son.

    A boom is a sign that He's fighting them for us
    And to live our lives by the words in Sefer Torahs
    For them it's a waste of a gift from Iran
    But He's letting us know we're the stars of His Plan.

    As we're living on chocolate and running on fumes
    As many are back and forth to their safe rooms
    They'd have us succumb to the dooms and the glooms
    But their way of life (quite mistaken) assumes
    That we're vulnerable to the darkness that looms.

    We'll keep on with our jobs and our dishes and brooms
    Our girls with their dolls and our boys with their vrooms
    We'll continue tehillim and shiurs on zooms
    We'll bar mitzvah our boys and we'll aufruf our grooms
    As emunah blossoms and bitachon blooms
    As the strength of our Nation just grows and mushrooms--

    Hashem's power and love can be heard in the booms.

  • אני רוצה לפתוח מיזם לקישור לקריאת תהילים שיופץ בחו"ל רציתי להוסיף כמהמילים לחיזוק שמדוברות הרבה בארץ וקצת נתקעתי בתרגום אשמח לעזרה בתרגום וכן בהפצה לכשיעלה הקישור בעז"ה

    נקודה שמדברים עליה הרבה היא שכל המלחמה הנוראה שמתחוללת כעת בארץ ישראל היא תוצאה של " גדר שנפרצה"
    בואו נגביה את החומות , נסגור את הפרצות
    בבקשה לא עוד קורבנות של פרצה בגדר
    לא עוד משפחות אבלות כי לא שמרנו מספיק על החומות
    "אם חומה היא נבנה עליה טירת כסף" רש"י:
    אם תחזק באמונתה וביראתה להיות כנגדם כחומת נחשת שלא יכנסו לתוכה רוצה לומר שלא תתחתן בם והם לא יבואו בה ולא תתפתה להם
    נהיה לה לעיר מבצר ולכתר ולנוי ונבנה לה את עיר הקדש ובית הבחירה
    " ואם דלת היא נצור עליה לוח ארז"- הסובבת על צירה ובהיקש עליה היא נפתחת אף היא אם תפתח להם להיות הם באים בה והיא בהם
    נשים בדלתה נסרים של עץ הנרקבים והתולעת גוררתן ואוכלתן

    A point that is talked about a lot is that the entire terrible war that is currently taking place in the Land of Israel is the result of a "breached fence"
    Let's raise the walls, close the loopholes
    Please no more victims of a breach in the fence
    No more grieving families because we didn't protect the walls enough


    הגאון הגדול רבי דב לנדא אמר כי לפרק צ"א בתהילים יש כח להציל מצרה וכדאי לקרותו בכוונה שתי פעמים ביום
    וכן אמר להתחזק בלהיות "יותר טוב" " יותר פרום" ("יותר חכם " רק שאני התקשיתי להסביר בקצרה את הכוונה)
    הגאון הגדול רבי יצחק זילברשטיין הורה להתחזק בשמירת השבת שמגינא ומצילה " כי אשמרה שבת קל ישמרני"
