David Ben Gurion’s affirmation of the Balfour Declaration demonstrated his recognition of its historical significance as it aided the establishment of the Jewish State which he believed was the centerpoint of Jewish history.

Balfour in 6 easy steps.

We are in Israel is because it belongs to us and we belong to it. It is no less a part of our Jewishness than the Torah. We don’t require legal arguments or scientific proof to justify our claim to Israel. To us, Israel and the Jew belong to each other because it is inherent in our heritage.

This unique Israel Forever “Celebrating Balfour” booklet is a resource designed to convey everything you need to know about the legacy of Balfour and why this historic declaration is relevant today.

The timeline to the Declaration of the Jewish State of Israel is a tale that flows from Herzl to Churchill, from Lloyd George to Harry Truman.

While we try battle Israel’s greatest enemy of today, the global media battle, we must look back and celebrate the Balfour declaration. The first supportive public opinion that MATTERED.

Statues and pictures of Herzl flood the streets of Israel to this day, but the question is why? Does Herzl deserve to still be a prominent and relevant figure as Jewish history unfolds? Why does this one leader stand out among so many others whose names have been forgotten?

This activity is a group debate designed to focus thinking about leadership in general and Jewish leadership in particular.
