The Republic of Tel Aviv

The Jewish Nation has and has had precisely one capital throughout its generations: Yerushalayim. Most unfortunately, there is one city in Israel that many Israelis feel serves as a directly contrasting alternative to our cultural capital. That city, of course, is Tel Aviv, which, for its distinctiveness, has earned itself the informal title of the "Republic of Tel Aviv."
