If one is fortunate to be born in Israel, both the correct Jewish and secular dates will appear on one&rsquo;s &ldquo;teudat zehut&rdquo; (identity card). However if one was born in the Diaspora, the Hebrew date appearing will automatically be as if one was born before nightfall. If one were born after nightfall, unless one can produce an official documentation to prove it, something which is almost impossible to obtain, they will register one&rsquo;s Jewish birth date as if one was born before nightfall, despite what one might tell the registrations clerk. I was in this situation and when I complained about this, was told that I could now celebrate two birthdays! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" align="left"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
