David Ben-Gurion: Modern-Day Moses?
David Ben-Gurion is considered by many as the
most important Jew of our time and as “modern-
day Moses”. He led Israel during the 1948
Arab-Israeli War, and united the various Jewish
militias into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). He is
known as Israel’s founding father. Following the
war, Ben-Gurion served as Israel’s first Prime
Minister and Minister of Defense for 13 years in
two terms. In this unique presentation Ambassador
Ido Aharoni, Israel’s longest-serving consul-
general in New York and New York University
Professor, will discuss Ben Gurion’s biography,
leadership style, long-term vision and strategic
approach — all the elements that turned him into
“modern-day’s Moses.”
