Petah Tiqwa - My Hometown | The water tower in Kfar Ganim |
I was born in petah tiqwa - the meaning of this name is "entrance of hope" or something like that.
all of my life i lived here.
Petach-Tikva was founded in the year 1878 (on 8/8) by a group of pioneers from Jerusalem.
This is one of israels oldest cities. |
|  | Petah Tikva - Why i put this place on the VT map ? Some people here on VT told me that my hometown is not a place i should put for tourists to see but i think i should put this page because of the following reasons :
1. this is where i live and if someone wants to read about the place i live i can't hide it.
2. although it is not a touristic place some of the people come to israel for work and not only tourism and Petah tikva has the second largest industrial area so this is a popular place.
Petah Tikva is one of the oldest cities in Israel but because of poor preservation there are no major sights for tourism.

This is where Tammy my Israeli girlfriend came from.We met on Kibbutz Kfar Hamaccabi. I was a Goy and her parents religious so I slept at a water melon stand close to her house run by two arab boys. I seriously considered converting. OUCH...Tim |
