Bituach Leumi (Social Security)
[Please note that most of the departments at Bituach Leumi are not very service oriented and only take calls a few hours a week. Those who are not satisfied with the service can always transfer to another service provider ! – j.k. But seriously, the best way to correspond with Bituach Leumi (from personal experience) is either by Fax or Registered mail. There are also drop boxes outside the branches – just make sure you photocopied everything before you deposit it in the box and include a cell phone #, they will send an sms that they received it].
