Schneiderman House
The home of David Schneiderman, a thinker and founder of the Borochov neighborhood, and his wife Malka, a member of the Second Aliyah.
The idea of establishing a working neighborhood that incorporates tiny auxiliaries and mutual commitment according to the values of the socialist movement sprouted in Schneidermans mind during World War I. In 1919, he brought together members of the Poalei Zion party, and together they founded the "Borochov" workers neighborhood, which took possession of the land in 1922. The house is one of the few remains of the first 22 houses built in the Borochov neighborhood, from which the city of Givatayim grew.
The building was designed with classicist features and in front of it stucco decorations. The interior of the house is decorated with murals, Schneidermans crafts, which made a living as a sign painter, building paint and an artist of engraving.
After the death of David and Dora (his second wife) in the late 1960s, his children made the house available to the Givatayim municipality for the purpose of commemorating their parents, and as a continuation of David Schneidermans artistic activity.
The activity of the Art Institute for the sculpture, founded by the pair of artists, Hedwig and Rudy Lehman was transferred to the building.
