model

model
In Jiang's account of the Jerusalem religious vision, Tel Aviv represents Israel's animal soul and Jerusalem represents its divine soul.
model
Jiang distinguishes Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as opposing Israeli centers of gravity: secular, Western, cosmopolitan Israel versus inward-looking religious theocracy.
model
