Rishon Lezion, Rishon Lezion

Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, known as the father of modern Hebrew, was a teacher in Rishon LeZion.

The Rishon LeZion Amphitheatre has hosted overseas artists such as Sting, Metallica, Alanis Morissette and Sean Paul. The city has a municipal zoo, an amusement park (Superland), and a beach promenade.

Hapoel has won more than seven domestic championships and cups in a row, with stars like goalkeeper Vladimir Zaikman and field-players Idan Maimon and Dudi Balsar. Its biggest rival, Maccabi, has a rich history as well, and was able to take the championship title from Hapoel in the latest 2005/06 season. Handball is also a dominant sport in Rishon LeZion high schools. The Amit Amal high school handball team has won the world championship several times.

Throughout the war, he stayed at the home of Rishon Lezion mayor Meir Nitzan and accompanied him on visits to sites hit by missiles.
