It became the commercial, cultural, and Zionist hub of the pre-state Yishuv, and it was here that David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the State of Israel on 14 May 1948. Merged with Jaffa in 1950 as Tel Aviv-Yafo, it is today Israel's second-largest city and its economic and cultural capital, its White City of Bauhaus architecture a UNESCO World Heritage Site. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Tel Aviv; Jewish Virtual Library — Tel Aviv.</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Zipporah Feingold (b.1924)]] | Born 09/17/1924 | | [[Sarah Isseroff (b.1925)]] | Born 08/07/1925 | | [[Arie Shimshon Isseroff (b.1930)]] | Born 05/26/1930 | | [[Yehudit Lehrs (b.1934)]] | Born 11/09/1934 | | [[Bentzion Rottenberg (b.1913)]] | Died 05/14/1938 | | [[Michael Isaac Dushinsky (Sol.
