ModiinApp was started as a small project by 4 friends (three of us live in Modiin - 2 olim and 1 sabra), and quickly grew into the best source for information on local businesses and deals in Modiin. Everything we do is local and authentic. We hope you like it. Get in touch!
Autumn Tours 2021 at Neot Kedumim
Fall is the ideal time to go out into nature, to breathe nature!
The first rain and the smell of plowed soil... The heat has not yet completely gone, but we can now feel a breeze and fresh air that only autumn can offer.

Ish, Isha veGeshem - Friday 19/11/21, 9:30-12:00
About water stories and longing for rain in Israeli agricultural culture.
Guide: Mor Roth Sukenik, director of Hadracha department and tour guide.
Rain stories fill our culture, with a fascinating combination of anticipation and apprehension, a prayer for the success of the crops, and anxiety about untimely rain, floods and torrential rains. The tour will reveal the importance of rain and water in the Land of Israel as it "flows" from the texts and landscapes. Between restored water facilities and fields thirsty for rain, embark on a journey that connects humans to water - the source of life.
