In the early 1950s, after the population of Kfar Warburg doubled, a culture hall with a 880-seat auditorium was built at the crossroads of the agricultural town's three main roads. Plays by the Habima and Cameri theaters were performed there almost every week.[https://www.haaretz.com/1.5218733 Once a Cultural Hub, Israeli Modernist Icon Is Left to Languish], Haaretz
