David Ben-Gurion

Israel's founder and first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, learned the stories of the Bible as a child at his grandfather's knee; this love for the Bible would shape Ben-Gurion's views throughout his life. From studying Hebrew to farming early Jewish settlements to building a government, Ben-Gurion dedicated his life to an independent Jewish state.
