Kfar Saba means "Grandfather's Village" and I visited it some time ago with my ex-husband and not with my grandfather. I found it a highly interesting city that deserves some in-depth research. I'll explain to you why. If you are not interested in lengthy explanations, I'd suggest you skip this whole article and go directly to
Raanana (do not pass "Start" and do not collect $ 200).
These are some of the key items that my Kfar Saba research paper is going to deal with:
1. Kfar Saba means "Grandfather's Village", so why is it a city?
2. Whose grandfather is it?
3. Where in the universe is Kfar Savta (Grandmother's Village)?
4. Does Kfar Saba Raba (Greatgrandfather's Village) exist?
5. Is Kfar Saba perhaps not a city but a mere suburb of Kfar Sababa (Happy Village)?
6. Is Kfar Sababa the sister city of
Freudenstadt (Happy City)?
This is what I've found out so far:
1. Only grandfather and his dog know.
2. The one of the grandchildren.
3. Who cares.
4. Yes, it does and amazingly in several different locations in
Israel, such as in Florentine (which is a neighborhood in
Tel Aviv and not the Italian city, which is called
Florence).
5. This depends on each Kfar Saba resident's individual viewpoint.
6. Officially not, however unofficially it's highly likely.
Now that we know all about Kfar Saba, let's find the
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and have a parallel lunch of humus and falafel. Sababa!
