The State of Israel celebrates 71 years but faces basic questions that have not been unequivocally answered over the years. Jay Shapiro talks about one of the unique issues that have not yet been answered unequivocally: Who is a Jew? Does Judaism depend on the fact that the mother of a Jewish person?
