Modi'in מודיעין
Modern Modi’in
has been built by the site of ancient Modi'in where the Hasmonean family
lived and which became the starting place of the Maccabean revolt against the
ancient Greeks. Today modern Modi'in is a symbol of Jewish strength and expert
city planning.
It
is located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem with a population of about 75,000 good
Jewish souls.
This
city offers an exceptional quality of life. Thus young people have been flocking here
since its inception. They see it as a place to raise a family.
Some of Israel’s best architecture is being built
and planned for this city of the Modern age.
In Modi’in children’s education is a top priority.
Thus they put 45 percent of the cities budget into it. There are over 15,000
kids in school in this city. Besides the dozens of Kindergartens for small
children, there are 14 primary schools and three of them are religious. There
are 5 high schools a Yeshiva for boys and a religious high school for girls and
all kinds of after school programs.
People’s health is not forgotten in Modi’in, which
has at lest 4 health care organizations operating in the city as well as
pharmacies, dentists and Ambulance services. The ministry of Health has
big plans here in Modi’in. That is to build a 900 bed Hospital along with 4
emergency medical clinics in conjunction with Hadassah. Also a pre-natal clinic
is planned for women. Modi’in also provides personal care for its senior
citizens in their own home. Pictured Below on left is the Center for Family

the rebuilding of His ancient nation.
The city is a joy because the children are happy. They

as well as an open plaza.
A
modern Train Station has been completed which provides service from Tel Aviv to
Modi'in via Ben Gurion Airport. The rail line is being built to connect to
Jerusalem.
Modi’in is being well planned. To make it one of the
worlds most modern cities. Indeed, Modern Israel is the only nation in the
history of the world that has given birth and grown up in a modern technological
age. Therefore they have the advantage of all the modern know how and
ingenuity.
Urban development has not forgotten the little
children. Everywhere they provide for the little ones. Modi’in has a center to
provide services for parent with babies and small children. It is called the
child and parent enrichment center. Here you can also find playgrounds, day

Modi’in does have culture, with a variety of
activities through out the year. Such as a Purim parade, and other Jewish
festival events. Scouts and Bnei Akiva activities. Activities just for women.
There is theatre, films, concerts; two sports centers, soccer, basketball,
baseball, gymnastics and modern dance. How about ballet, folk dance, karate or
swimming. There are local synagogues and Mikvot in the city. They are all
cultural, just as the Hassidic musical shows which you can find in the city. What ever you like it is here
