People and places
The stories of Petah Tikva.
Homes, streets and memorial sites.
The people who left something of themselves here.
Zerach Barnett
The man who crossed the sea back and forth, sold all his property in London, and invested every penny in redeeming the land. The tireless pioneer who turned thorn fields into Meah Shearim and the "mother of the colonies," Petah Tikva.
Yigal Mossinson
A Palmach fighter, a man of secrets, and a brilliant inventor who drew on the worlds of espionage to create the legendary Hasamba. The creator who stirred generations of imaginations with a single secret society in the Electric Cave.
Yoel Moshe Salomon
The learned scholar who refused to stay behind Jerusalem's walls and went to see whether birds sang above the Yarkon marshes. The entrepreneur, printer, and visionary who dared to buy the lands of Umm Labes and lay the foundation for Petah Tikva.
