Samuel played folk melodies on his violin and over time he got called "Stempenyu" in honor of an itinerant Klezmer violinist from of the same-named story by Sholem Aleichem. Samuel hummed in a folk manner words of a created in Rishon LeZion poem, which further became the national anthem of Israel. This poem was written by Naftali Hertz Imber in the house, which is now on the territory of the Museum.
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.
