David Ben-Gurion on Baruch Spinoza
← Back to David Ben-Gurion Profile
“[Spinoza] — the deepest, most original thinker to emerge from our people from the end of the Bible to the birth of Einstein.”
“He was in a certain sense the first Zionist of the last three hundred years, [...] Through keen insight into Jewish and world history he prophesied the rebirth of the State of Israel.”
