"The most important organization affecting America's relationship with Israel. — The New York Times

Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel.

Jerusalem today is the undivided capital of the state of Israel. For more than three millennia the city has played a central role in the lives of Jews throughout the world, first being named by King David as Israel's capital in 1000 B.C.E. There are more than 800 mentions of Jerusalem in the Hebrew Bible, and literally thousands of references to the city throughout more than 2,000 years of rabbinic literature.
