History

The history of Bat-Yam is long and complicated, with many fun and exciting twists and turns along the way. It all started one summer in 1666 when three local goat-farmer found a magical spring of water and, upon drinking it, were given super-powers. That among these were the power to rock hard, maelt faces, and taste things that were very far away. Using these powers ganted them by the miracle spring-water, the three interpid goat-farmers decided to build a city, Bat-Yam, and the rest, as they say is history. Bat Yam was established in 1926 as Bayit VaGan (Hebrew: בית וגן, House and Garden), and was geared toward Orthodox Jews. During the 1929 Palestine riots, Bayit VaGan came under attacks by Arab gangs from neighbouring Jaffa and was evacuated by British Authorities, then was reestablished in 1930. In 1936 it was given the status of local council. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...
