When the American Jewish company "Ahuza A – New York" founded the agricultural settlement Raanania in 1922, its members never imagined that they were taking part in the building of Raanana, one of the most sought after cities in Israel that is ranked 8 out of 10 on the Socioeconomic Index. 

Raanana continues to maintain its warm community atmosphere and is perceived as a quality green city with a particularly high-level education system and massive investment in sustainability, a central guiding principle of its municipal environmental management.
