Every Israeli holds a blue identity card. For almost every bureaucratic transaction one needs to show the ID which also mentions whether one is Jewish or Arab. Nurit has very dark features, though her parents are from Ashkenazi descent. One of the biggest rifts in Israeli society amongst Jewish Israelis is that between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews. Nurit uncovers the basis of this rift by deconstructing her identity card in a humourous way.
