Pinsteps. Shmuel Cohen House

Occupying this spot once was a single-story house purchased in 1887 by Samuel Cohen. Hailing from Moldova, Cohen pursued a career as a winemaker. A violin player, he often treated locals to performances of folk melodies, leading to his affectionate nickname, "Stempenyu", after the wandering Klezmer violinist from Sholem Aleichem's eponymous story. Famously, Samuel lent a folksy tune to a poem crafted in Rishon LeZion, which eventually evolved into the national anthem of Israel. Naftali Hertz Imber penned this poem in a house that now lies within the boundaries of the Museum.
