My daughter was born in Jerusalem and goes to a Hebrew-speaking school. Her father is an Israeli Jew. But because I am not Jewish and I don’t identify with a particular religion, her birth certificate proclaims that she is “without religious affiliation.” When she was born, the Israeli Ministry of the Interior did not even want to recognize our baby as an Israeli citizen. In order for my husband to give our daughter his name, the ministry demanded the ultimate proof: a DNA test (at our expense ) to prove his paternity. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/on-the-roster-of-shame-1.396259
