תודה לראש העיר כרמל שאמה הכהן שתמך בהקמת התערוכה

וּשִׁאַבְתֶּם מִיִם בְּשָׂשׂוֹן. הבאר
"מצאנו מים"!
שתי מילים שהרטיטו לבבות בשנות השלושים המוקדמות של המאה הקודמת. במקום בו אנו עומדים נחפרה הבאר ממנה נבעו המים לתושבי מרכז רמת-גן.
מעומק האדמה נשאבו מים בששון, מעל האדמה - החיים בהמון.
המתחם שבין הרחובות; הרצל-ביאליק - היה אז והיום הלב הפועם של העיר: בית העירייה, "בית האזרח" וצומת הספרים של העיר - "ספריית דביר".
מרחוב צומת-לבבי - "התחנה המרכזית" של רמת-גן, יצא קו 55 המיתולוגי לתחנה המרכזית בתל-אביב, ועד שנת 1961, מאחורי הטריבונות של מגרש מכבי, התנוסס בגאון השלט "ברוך בואכם לגימנסיה אהל-שם".

"... מְקוֹר מַיִם חַיִּים, לַחְצֹב לָהֶם בארוֹת בְּאַרוֹת..." ירמיהו פרק ב’ פסוק י"ג

The "exhibition" on the building was launched in November 2024 and tells the story of Maccabi Ramat Gan Click for sign's details, as well as the well in Rambam Square.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water. The well
"We found water"!
Two words that made hearts tremble in the early 1930s. The well was dug where we are standing, from which water flowed to the residents of central Ramat-Gan.
From deep in the ground, water was drawn with joy, above the ground - life in abundance.
The complex between the streets; Herzl-Bialik - was then and is today the beating heart of the city: the city hall, the "Citizen’s House" and the city’s book junction - the "Dvir Library".
From Tzomet-Levvi Street - the "Central Bus Station" of Ramat-Gan, the mythical line 55 left for the Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv, and until 2011, 1961, behind the stands of the Maccabi field, the sign "Welcome to the Ohel-Sham Gymnasium" was proudly displayed.

"...the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns..." Jeremiah Chapter 2 Verse 13
