    ""The sand dunes apeear also on the emblem of the city of Holon side by side with stone houses and sycamore tree (Jumas in Arabic) which was ,in the past, typical for this area. (Even today one can find sycamore trees in Holon: At the enerance to the city, at Qiryat Ben-Gurion and other sites).
    At the top of the emblem there is a carved inscription: "in spite of and despite everything" which is taken from a poem by the poet David Shim'oni and is an exspression of the decisive decision of the first inhabitants, to built a city in Israel, despie of the hardships of those days, the bloody events, lack of labour and livelihood, solitude and financial difficulties."
