In the heart of the desert, where others saw desolation, David Ben-Gurion saw the promise of a blooming future. His vision was to foster a beacon of hope, resilience, and innovation emanating from the Negev to the world. Today, as we face new challenges, his legacy calls us to reflect on our own strength and unity.
On October 7, 2023, Israel faced one of its darkest days. Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) was directly and disproportionately impacted by the Hamas terror attacks on October 7. BGU emerged as a pillar of strength, embodying the resilience that Ben-Gurion envisioned for Israel’s future.
On December 8, 2024, we mark the third annual Ben-Gurion Day in the USA. This day is dedicated to honoring the timeless values of Israel’s first Prime Minister and the spirit of resilience that defines Israel today.
To support this vision, we invite communities across the USA to engage with Ben-Gurion’s legacy by participating in Ben-Gurion Day in the USA. All available Ben-Gurion Day Program in a Box kits have been claimed, but we encourage you to explore our digital toolkit for impactful resources, educational materials, and details on our upcoming webinar.
Interested in receiving a box next year? Contact Rachel Morof at [email protected] for more information and to inquire about 2025 participation opportunities.
This December, please join us in observing Ben-Gurion Day in the USA, a day dedicated to honoring the legacy of David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, whose dream will lead to a nation’s recovery and renewal, offering a foundation for the future.
