Comments

The first signs of Jewish industry in the Land of Israel occurred in the latter half of the 19th Century. These were mainly short-lasting trials at starting workshops. The real beginning of industry came with the opening of a factory by Leon Stein, who brought the industrial revolution to Israel. He immigrated into the country in 1887, opened a smithy in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv, in February 1888 and, at the height of his activity, employed 150 workers. The factory became important for its production of kerosene motor pump filters, which Stein himself invented. This invention saved the Israel's citrus growing industry and greatly advanced it. The story of 100 years of Jewish industry is one of its transformation from merely fulfilling the needs of agriculture, to it becoming the central factor in the Israeli economy. Industry today is, without doubt, the principal means of economic growth. The Manufacturers' Association of Israel marks the Israel Industry Centenary and this is the subject of a new State Medal.
