The website is a synthesis of information that gives people practical ideas and tips about living in the country.
Though the Anglo-list is in English and is primarily geared towards the large immigrant population: veterans, new immigrants and prospective immigrants, the site has language accessibility and on-line translation in 50 different languages.
The site provides real and practical advice on how and where to do things in Israel - things that can take you years to learn.
The Anglo-list connects to other Aliyah websites and Jewish Federations. It offers information about paying bills, shipping, medical, education and transportation to name but a few. A phonetic dictionary with useful word and phrases and a guide to Hebrew slang make it easy for the non Hebrew speaker to get around.
Another feature of the website in a list of professional services - service providers who offer their services in English - a great source of frustration for new immigrants.
As the Anglo-list.com is a private Web site we can make recommendations. New immigrants can advertise their services which in turn is an employment opportunity as well. Access to employment opportunities and information for entrepreneurs is also featured on the site.
The site is has been endorsed by the Mayor of Haifa - Yona Yahav.
"The information on this Web site will assist all the English-speaking communities in Haifa with their integration," Yahav wrote on the site. "Your full integration will further the prosperity, development and cultural aspects of the city, which will be of benefit to all of us."
The Anglo-list also features the personal accounts of immigrants from all backgrounds. They share their experiences and in this way provide support, comfort and inspiration to others. They realize that they're not alone and it gives them a lot of hope for the future."
Plans for the future see the Anglo-list expanding to incorporate immigrants of all languages and their communities around Israel.
