Israeli consulate in Menifee: the office is in Los Angeles
There is no Israeli consulate in Menifee. The Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles, 91 miles from Menifee by road (1 h 54 min), takes its cases.
Which Israeli consulate serves Menifee
San Francisco and Los Angeles share California between them; the California page sets out both pages’ wording.
The center of Menifee lies in congressional district 41. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Menifee stays with Los Angeles by our reading.
On the road it is 91 miles from Menifee to the office, about 1 h 54 min in good conditions, or 77 miles as the crow flies.
Los Angeles keeps the same clock as Menifee, so its office hours need no conversion.

Where the birth and marriage papers from Menifee come from
The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a birth in Menifee, it comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the California page has the fee.
For a marriage license issued in Riverside County, the county that includes Menifee, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Riverside County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
The California Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from California (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
