Gate of Hope Attractions Petah Tiqwa
A few kilometers east of Tel Aviv is Petah Tiqwa ("Gate of Hope"), the first modern Jewish farming village, founded in 1878. From difficult beginnings in an area of marshland it has developed into a flourishing city.
In the center of the town is the Founders' Garden (Gan Hameyasdim), commemorating the early settlers. Adjoining are the first synagogue built in the town and the new Town Hall. At the near end of the town on the road from Bene Beraq, on right, is a stone arch erected in honor of Baron Edmond de Rothschild and the financial assistance he gave to the founders of the village.
