In the heart of the Negev lies the bodied of Mr. and Mrs. David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel. This guy was a genius, he spoke 9 different languages and was instrumental in the developing of Israel as a nation. The secret of Mr. Gurion’ genius is that you stand on your head for 20 minutes every day, serious! That is what he did every day! Visiting his burial sight is like visiting the grave sight of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln in the States, a real honor to be there.
The reason that he is buried in the Negev (heart of the desert) is because he believed that Israel’s future lies in the Desert and not in the coastland. So when he retired he set up his home in the desert and started his new work. I have been here before, but I could not recognize the place, so much growth, so many houses and there is even a University there; Ben Gurion Institute. Amazing stuff!
