THE HOUSE OF
WOMEN'S CONVERSATION
The house of women's conversation is a unique center that celebrates the contribution of the women of Petah Tikva
in general and the women who took part in establishing the colony in particular.
The contribution of the women to the establishment of the colony was humbled for years,
but they were full partners for the construction, creation and renewal of the colony.
The house of women's conversation brings to life the wonderful story of all women who were first in their field
and led the path for their successors. Each in her own field has created something out of thin air.
