Mikveh Israel Visitors' Center

At the heart of Gush Dan (Tel-Aviv metropolis), at the outskirts of Holon, lies a pastoral “French” village from the late 19th century. This is Mikveh Israel, which brings the story of the first agricultural school in the Land of Israel, which holds credit for many important chapters in all fields of Zionist activity: agriculture, education, defense and absorption of new immigrants.

The school was founded in 1870 by Karl Netter, the secretary of the “Kol Israel Haverim” (Alliance) movement in Paris, in order to serve as an educational facility for teaching the new sons of Israel how to work the land and be the base for the establishment of farming settlements across the land. The site has a visitors’ center
