The Ben-Gurion Society

The Ben-Gurion Society is a national Young Leadership Society sponsored by the Young Leadership Cabinet of the United Jewish Communities (UJC) for young leaders (ages 25-45) who make a commitment of $1,000 or more to the Jewish Community Federation’s annual Campaign. Attendance at any of the BGS events requires this commitment.

Join us for our exclusive BGS speaker series, a thank you event, Shabbat dinners and more. We have 350 members here... join us and help grow our community!

About David Ben-Gurion

In 1948, David Ben-Gurion became the face of a great new generation of Jews. Today, the Ben-Gurion society embodies his legacy; we are young men and women who combine our power, passion, and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community, at home, in Israel and around the world.
