DAVID BEN-GURION
He signs a 1951 letter to author Kurt Nabretsky, thanking him for a copy of a

TLS: "D. Ben-Gurion" in Hebrew as Prime Minister of Israel, 1
page, 6½x8. No place, 1951 October 16. On embossed letterhead to Dr. Kurt
Nabretsky. In Hebrew, translated. In full: "Many thanks for your
book - the first book on the Jewish homeland settlement - your writing and
blessing. Even though I have had your book in my library for many years, I am
delighted and thankful for your gift. Respectfully yours". 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). Lightly
creased with folds, vertical fold at the flourish of signature. Lightly soiled,
rusty paperclip stain at lower left blank margin. Overall, fine
condition.
