Start at the Oleh House
Rehovot's Absorption Department runs the Oleh House (Beit HaOleh) at 6 Neviim Street. Nefesh B'Nefesh lists an Anglo oleh coordinator there and the phone 08-949-6578. Besides day-to-day help, the house runs Hebrew, English and Yiddish study groups, Hebrew for preschoolers, culture and seniors' activities, and arranges temporary housing for olim. See the listing.
The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration also has advisors; book a meeting through gov.il (opens in a new tab).
Health fund
All four health funds (Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet, Leumit) have clinics in Rehovot. See the health fund listings. The city hospital is Kaplan Medical Center, in the south of the city by Bilu Junction, run by Clalit.
Getting around
Buses are the main way around town; you pay with a Rav-Kav card or an app, not cash. The central bus station is on the ground floor of Rehovot Mall, and the train station is a short walk north of the Weizmann Institute. Shared taxis (moniot sherut) run fixed routes, take cash and run on Shabbat. More in getting around Rehovot.
Community
Nefesh B'Nefesh notes that Anglo olim live all over Rehovot, with many near the Berman and Chatam shuls. See Shabbat and shuls in Rehovot.
Shopping
Most supermarkets in Rehovot carry only kosher products and close from Friday afternoon until Saturday night. The open-air Rehovot Market on Bilu Street runs Sunday to Friday.
