About Ben-Gurion Day
Jewish , Middle East/West Asia
Ends: Nov 19, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Ben Gurion Day is a national holiday in Israel that is observed annually on the Hebrew date of 11th Heshvan, which usually falls in late October or early November. The holiday is named after David Ben Gurion, who was the first Prime Minister of Israel and one of the country's founding fathers.
David Ben Gurion played a key role in the establishment of the State of Israel. He was the head of the Jewish Agency, which was responsible for promoting Jewish immigration to Palestine, and he later became the first prime minister of Israel when the state was founded in 1948. During his tenure as prime minister, Ben Gurion oversaw the establishment of key national institutions, including the Israel Defense Forces and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He also played a key role in shaping Israel's foreign policy and in negotiating peace agreements with neighboring Arab states.
Ben Gurion retired from politics in 1970 and lived out his final years in the Negev desert, where he was an advocate for the development of the region. After his death in 1973, the Israeli government established Ben Gurion Day as a national holiday in his honor.
On Ben Gurion Day, various events and activities are held throughout Israel to commemorate Ben Gurion's legacy and to celebrate the founding of the state. Many schools and educational institutions hold programs and events that focus on the history of the state and the contributions of its founders, including David Ben Gurion. The holiday also provides an opportunity for Israelis to reflect on the achievements of the past and to look toward the future with hope and determination.
