Shabbas in Hashmonaim

We are spending Shabbas in Hashmonaim with the Schusters, good friends of my wife from college. For all the time I've lived in Israel (totaling close to 3 years, on and off, since '82), I have never spent that much time in this area of the Aretz. Moreover, I had always heard about the big town of Modiin (and I got a small driving tour of it today) but I don't remember it *existing* when I was here in Gush back in '96. Fast place, this Israel.

Addendum: According to the Modiin History Website, the town really got underway basically in 1996, and more established in 1998. This makes me feel old and slow.
