I finally called our local Ministry of the Interior representative. She confirmed that not only can she process our too-new-for-a-passport paperwork, but we can also give her the payment (in cash). She reiterated that it's cheaper to pay online, but I don't have an Israeli credit card, so that's not really an option. I'm just glad that there's a simple way for me to pay, though I do wish I could take advantage of the cheaper option.
I also made pupik soup! I haven't had that in years and years and years, and it was delicious and tasted just like I remember. Okay, to be fair, I'm not actually sure if it was objectively delicious or not. It could be that this is the least flavorful soup I've made, and I'd have no idea: like I said, it tastes exactly like I remember Ema's pupik soup (which I know is impossible, because I didn't put in any celery), and that makes me happy. For the record, if you soak the pupiks for about an hour, change the water, soak them overnight, then rinse them really well multiple times, your soup will actually end up needing a tiny bit of salt. Well, not needing, but I added a bit of salt to my bowl
BSM enjoyed the pupiks mightily, fondly saying "ot da" [hot dog] as he munched away.
