Even secular homosexuals and lesbians in the United States and Israel haven't taken single-sex parenting for granted, and it took years for some couples to make this move. The religious lesbians of Bat Kol have simply skipped the phase of trying to make up their minds.
"This is a dream that all of us grew up with: a husband, children, a wedding and a white dress. Whereas we once thought that we would have to give up this dream, we have seen that it can still be realized," Sperber explains. "In effect, single mothers have paved the way for us by dealing with the matter of using sperm donations in halakhic law."
"We were 26 years old, and we realized that we were lesbians and that we would stay together," says Ziva Ofek, a lawyer who lives in Moshav Kfar Uriah with her partner Dovrat Ofek. They met at the Kfar Pines religious secondary school for girls when they were 14.
