The bell of the settlement informed the residents about important events. It could be beginning and end of a working day, a visit of an important guest, a fire or even theft. Over time, when telegraph and telephone came into use, there was no more need for the bell, and it was hoisted to the top of the monument to the founders of the city. Soon he mysteriously disappeared. In 1982, when the Museum of Rishon LeZion was founded, they created a new bell and hoisted it in the same place. Only in 2004 the loss was found. It was hidden by some boys in a house yard. Because of the shame and fear of being punished, they buried the bell and only after decades they’re not calming conscience forced them with the help of a trusted person to return the bell to its rightful owners – the residents of Rishon LeZion.
This is a special tour and a unique route. Its difference from the usual city tour is that your mobile phone is the guide. As in every excursion, it takes time to get used to the tour guide, his style, rhythm and pathways. The only difference is that in this case, you are the storyteller, you are walking yourself and set the pace for yourself - all according to your style. Just give yourself time to get used to it and you will come to life with a story full of the vicissitudes of the lives of real people, a story about their joys and sorrows, a story in which urban legends rise from the past, instill hope and simply sums up: here it all began.
