I did. I really, really did it. After weeks of trying (granted, most of that was waiting for a letter with a username and temporary password to show up in our mail), I finally created an online National Insurance account for Husbinator. ("National Insurance" is more commonly known as Bituach LeUmi, and it's Israel's hardcore real-socialist version of Social Security.)
Lo, within those same 30 minutes, I managed to transfer our automatic payments off of our Israeli bank account and onto our American credit card. (Because using our credit card is the best way we've found to transfer the American Dollars from Husbinator's salary into Israeli Shequels that we can use for useful stuff.)
I did it! Victory is mine! YEAH!!!!
(For the record, O mighty National Insurance Institute of Israel, I am in no way suggesting that I beat you. Or that you couldn't crush me slowly and tortuously as you have crushed countless others who dared wrestle with your mighty bureaucracy. I'm just implying that you have a great website, may it live and be well. Don't mind me.)
Woo-hoo!
