The Shrinking Secular Jerusalem

“Stay in Jerusalem,” writes a 23-year-old secular American who made aliyah to the Jewish capital:

The capital of Israel cannot lose its representative nature. It should embody a spectrum of beliefs and opinions. I am apprehensive about the day when the Israeli government sits in a city that mainly represents one non-pluralistic segment of society. The young and secular populations are a vital part of keeping the city representative, domestically and internationally.

I had a daydream the other day about moving to Jerusalem. Now that there’s a mission to it, I’m tempted.
