On this edition of The Israel Show: \n\nFor decades US citizens born in Jerusalem could not have their "country of birth" listed as Israel, because the State Department refused to acknowledge that Jerusalem is in Israel.\nIn 2015 the Supreme court ruled in favor of the State Department in the case of Zivotofsky vs Kerry. All that changed last week. \n\nTIS will share audio from the ceremony at the US embassy in Jerusalem in which Ari Zivotofsky received the first ever US passport listing Israel as the "country of birth" for a US citizen born in Jerusalem.\n\nBack In June of 2015 TIS interviewed Dr. Ari Zivotofsky about the supreme court ruling.\ntis will replay pertinent parts of that interview.\n\nand another Meir Millim segment \n\nplus the "not to be missed" weekly Israeli music mix.
