I'm trying to reconnect with my sister with whom I lost contact while we were kids.

@Max, have you considered hiring a private investigator? I have no idea if that works in real life like it does in fiction but maybe it's a possible route?
Another thing you might be able to try is to access public records starting from the time when you were children and working forward through time to today. In some cases the public records might be accessible through legal requests (whatever is the Israeli equivalent of FOIA or something like that), or if you are willing to do whatever it takes you could try asking favors of government workers or even try to get someone who's a gray hat to try to obtain the records on your behalf. If your sister wants to reconnect then a gray hat method of obtaining records should in my view still be considered the right & moral thing to do. If anything, part of what I believe the private investigators do (at least the good ones) is provide plausible deniability by using gray methods or hiring those who do, for you, without ever saying so.
If you're really dedicated, you could even apply for a job at the relevant government agency and look up the records yourself once you work in that job.

That is going to get you fired at the least and serious criminal charges at the worst, pretty almost everywhere.
Do not ever, I repeat ever, abuse any kind of database access you have for personal stuff unless approved by whomever you are reporting to and allowed by law.
I agree. It's a question of how much finding his sister means to him. We don't know his story, and maybe he'd be willing to spend some time in jail and lose his career if it meant the chance to find her.
