The opening as it read in 2005

Ra'anana ( Hebrew רעננה Ra‘ănānāh ) is a small city (about 67,000 citizens) in the southern Sharon in the Center District of Israel , Israel , northeast of Tel Aviv . The city is predominantly Jewish , with many immigrants from English -speaking countries, including the United States , the United Kingdom , and South Africa . Ra'anana's story began in 1912 with the founding of Achuza A - New York, a company that was involved in the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel , the purpose of which was to purchase land in Palestine, to immigrate to the country, and to establish an agricultural settlement. World War I put an end to the plan temporarily. Only in 1922 , did they manage to finally build the settlement. On April 2 , 1922, two wagons left Tel Aviv with four members of the Achuza group, three workers, and two armed guards. At the end of the five-hour journey, they reached their destination, unloaded the wagon, and decided that they would erect the first tent on that spot. In its early days, it was called Raanania, a name suggested by its founders in the U.S. The settlement's Arab neighbors called it Americaya because most of the existing residents spoke English and came from New York City . Finally, the first settlers selected a Hebrew version of the name, and it was called Ra'anana. The sister cities of Ra'anana are Opsterland (the Netherlands ), Bramsche ( Germany ), Boulogne-Billancourt ( France ), Verona ( Italy ), Tainan ( Taiwan ), and Atlanta ( Georgia , USA ).¹
