The Ben-Gurion Society is a national Young Leadership Society sponsored by the Young Leadership Cabinet of the Jewish Federations of North America for young leaders (ages 25 to 45) who make a commitment of $1,000 or more to the Jewish Community Federation’s annual Campaign. Attendance at BGS events requires this commitment.
Join us for our exclusive BGS events which in the past have included Shabbat dinners, trips to Napa, speakers and more. We have 150 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.
Check the Young Adult Division calendar for upcoming BGS events.
Profiles: Why do you Give?
Melany Berger, YAD Committee Member
"I donate to the Federation as my grandparents were Holocaust survivors and instilled the importance of tzedakah in me from an early age. As a Jew, I feel that my donation is essential and necessary for the continuing success of the Jewish Federation. I also give my time and feel that this is an amazing way to be connected with the Jewish Community." Read more YAD profiles on our blog.
