Before stepping into my personal story, I take you to the roots of the struggle: the Israeli laws on family and citizenship that shaped every step of my fight. In this episode, I unpack the legal framework, the gaps that leave families in limbo, and the questions those gaps force us to ask.

Why is belonging reduced to paperwork? Who decides if a child is recognized? And what happens when a system built on ancestry cannot handle lives that don’t fit its boxes?

This is the legal prelude — the foundation of my battle for recognition, identity, and a place in Israel.
