typed. David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), who became known as
"The Father of Israel", became captivated with Zionism during his youth in
Poland. Born David Gruen, he adopted the ancient Hebrew name Ben-Gurion in 1906
at age 20, when he immigrated to Palestine. Ben-Gurion, who proclaimed Israel's
independence on May 14, 1948, was its first leader as Chairman of the
Provisional State Council (May 14-May 17, 1948). On May 17, he became
Israel's first Prime Minister (1948-1953) and Chaim Weizmann became
President. Ben-Gurion devoted his life to establishing a Jewish nation,
and encouraged the return of Jewish people from throughout the world.
After serving again as Prime Minister from 1955-1963, Ben-Gurion devoted
himself to writing. He published Israel: The Years of Challenge (1963)
and The Jews in Their Land (1966). "Time" magazine
called him "part Washington, part Moses...the architect of a new nation".
