FAQ


Q: What is the purpose of the Shemesh list?
A: This free and easy to use email list exists to allow communication between list members on topics of interest to Bet Shemesh and Ramat Bet Shemesh residents. It is a place to help new & old residents learn about events, local products and services, and get your questions answered about living in Bet Shemesh and Ramat Bet Shemesh.

Q: How do I post to the list?
A: Send an email to list@shemesh.groups.io

Q: How do I receive messages from the email list?
A: Join the email list. Complete the form on the top of this page.

Q: What is the difference between the digest and the individual mail list?
A: The digest will be delivered to you every 12 messages or so.
The individual mail list sends out each mail individually. Some people prefer this because they can delete the ones they want without having to keep a whole digest. Others prefer digest because it limits the amount of email coming in to their inbox.

Q: What if I want to change my subscription from digest to individual or vice versa?
A: Send a message to moderators@shemesh.co.il or edit your subscription on groups.io

Q: How do I leave the list (unsubscribe)?

A: To stop the list temporarily, send your request to: moderators@shemesh.co.il or edit your subscription on groups.io

Q: If I join the list from one email account (let's say, old@hotmail.com) can I post to the list from another email account (new@hotmail.com)?
A: You may post only from the email account that is subscribed. You can subscribe more than on email address if you wish.

Q: How do I search the archives if I remember someone sent something to the list last month that I want to read?
A: https://shemesh.groups.io/g/list/topics

Q: What kind of information should I post to the list?
