This house was built in 1900 by Yaakov and Batya Kaner. They came to Turkish Palestine from Bucharest in 1881 and lived in Beirut for six years. In Rishon LeZion they were engaged in viticulture. The Caner house doesn't look like other houses in Rishon LeZion. Its distinctive feature is the balcony that runs along the perimeter of the house. The Caner family was childless, and their house passed into the use of the municipality of Rishon LeZion. It housed the emergency department and during the war of independence of Haganah.
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.
