In September 1952, Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, gathered 60 leading American Jewish figures in Jerusalem to propose an ambitious vision: fund the rapid development of the fledgling Israeli economy through the issuance of State of Israel Bonds. The initiative was launched a year later, and quickly became a cornerstone of Israel’s economic strategy. Backed by widespread support—particularly from the United States, which contributed over 85% of the bond purchases—the funds raised helped construct roads, expand railways and ports, develop water infrastructure, and power the country’s future through investment in energy and natural resources.
