Reading Station is named after the power station beyond the Yarkon which is now used as an exhibition hall. Here, on the banks of the Yarkon River, close to where the river spilled into the sea, there were huge international exhibitions. In 1932, the Maccabiah Conference was held here, which was a kind of Jewish Olympics. Two years later, the Levant Fair was held, an international exhibition that sought to create an economic and cultural encounter between East and West. In 1936 the first concert of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was held under the direction of Arturo Toscanini.
