The Ben-Gurion Society

The Ben-Gurion Society is a donor recognition program for individuals in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s who make a minimum individual gift of $1,000 to the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County annual campaign.  But the Ben-Gurion Society is so much more than that; it is a new and vibrant program that is on the rise around the country.

BGS members are not just a part of their Jewish communities; they are stepping up and helping to SHAPE their communities.

You will have the opportunity to experience terrific programs that will not only allow you to meet and connect with amazing people, but to experience intimate Shabbat dinners, special events with dynamic speakers, business networking opportunities and hands-on volunteer experiences. We can provide you with the tools to become a powerful and passionate leader in our community and help build the next generation of leaders for tomorrow.

The National Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) of the United Jewish Communities was founded on the principles of David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of the State of Israel. BGS embodies Ben-Gurion's legacy; young men and women combining their power, passion and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community at home, in Israel, and around the world.

David Ben-Gurion

Throughout his life, David Ben-Gurion never forgot that God said the Israelites must become a unique nation,­ a nation that embraces the higher virtues of truth, justice and compassion. So will we create our community based on these virtues.In 1948, David Ben-Gurion became the face of a great new generation of Jews. His single-minded passion for the Jewish people is as much a part of his legacy as is the State of Israel itself. Today, the UJC Ben-Gurion Society embodies that legacy -- young men and women combining their power, passion and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community, at home, in Israel and around the world.
