As one of the founding fathers of the modern State of Israel and one of the most important Zionist leaders of the 20th century, there are so many questions I would love to ask him. I share his love for the Negev and history, so the conversation with him would never get boring.

Another topic I would love to discuss with him is work related – so maybe not suitable for a Shabbat Dinner but I couldn´t hold back. David Ben-Gurion was also the founder of the Israel Bonds program.

At a time when Israel was economically weak, he found a way for the Diaspora to help the young State of Israel.

This connection remains until today and is important as ever.
