Masaryk Square Masaryk Square ( Hebrew : כיכר מסריק ) is a public square in central Tel Aviv , Israel . It is named for Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk , the first President of Czechoslovakia . Before the First Czechoslovakian Republic was established in 1918, Masaryk played a role in the Hilsner affair , an anti-Semitic blood libel targeting Leopold Hilsner , a Jewish villager in the Austro-Hungarian Empire .
