Do People in Israel Work?

No, I'm not talking about Chareidim in this post. As I become more acquainted with Israeli society it seems to me that nobody here works. Here is a small breakdown of

Discount Bank: Closed from 12:00 to 16:00, thus killing any opportunity for lunch break banking.

Misrad HaP'nim: Opened from 8:00-12:00 every day, that's a whopping 4-hour workday!

Machal (Chutznik Army Registration): 10:30-14:30, and even during those hours they are hard to reach. Furthermore, if you do reach them you have a 3 in 41 chance that they can actually help you.

Post Offices: 8:00-12:30, 15:30-16:30. Simply dreadful hours.

It's really surprising how this country gets along. Maybe one day I'll merit a nice job at one of the above offices, and work 4 days a week for 4 hours a day.

Reccomendation: Nefesh B'Nefesh should pitch, "Israel, home of the 16-Hour workweek."
