ABSTRACT This article presents an ethnographic picture of Russian immigrants of mixed Jewish origin in their encounter with the state national bureaucracy in Israel. It discusses the meanings and outcomes of the religious categories of classifications embraced by the Jewish state for the newcomers' lived identities. The article suggests that the meanings of ethnic mixture are not given, but that they are constituted in the course of the bureaucratic encounter of migration. Unfolding one ethnographic narrative, I reveal the discrepancy between Israeli citizenship and nationality, expose the contradictions between the Soviet and Israeli perceptions of Jewishness, and interpret the role of religion in the acculturation of Russian-speaking immigrants of mixed Jewish origin.

“混血儿——就像怀了一半身孕”：在官僚主义与犹太国家的交锋中，俄裔犹太人的混血儿1

摘要 本文展示了混血犹太血统的俄罗斯移民在与以色列国家官僚机构相遇时的民族志图。它讨论了犹太国家对新移民的生活身份所采用的宗教分类的含义和结果。文章认为，族群混杂的含义不是被赋予的，而是在官僚主义的移民遭遇过程中构成的。展开一个民族志叙事，我揭示了以色列公民身份和国籍之间的差异，揭露了苏联和以色列对犹太人的看法之间的矛盾，并解释了宗教在讲俄语的犹太混血移民的文化适应中的作用。
