At the 49th Anniversary of His Death, KKL-JNF Reveals Rare Photographs of Israel’s First Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion

The photographs show Ben-Gurion giving speeches, planting trees, at the forest named after him and his wife and at his cabin in Sde Boker.

Efrat Sini, Manager of the KKL-JNF Photo Archive: "David Ben-Gurion, who lead the country on its way to independence and beyond, kept close contact with KKL-JNF. The KKL-JNF photographers have accompanied him in many events and ceremonies, and many photographs kept at the KKL-JNF Photo archive commemorate him. At the 49th anniversary of the death of this Zionist giant, we are honored to present a few of these photographs to the public.
