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.
