Before 1996, Modi’in existed only in the dreams of its government promoters and the imagination of its designer, famed architect Moshe Safdie. Strategically located in the center of Israel between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Modi’in offers access to most of Israel quickly and conveniently. Today, remarkably, Modi’in has over 90,000 residents and is expected to reach 120,000 within the next 10 years.
