or politically far-sighted-or eager
to pursue his philosophical studies
or motivated by an overpoWer-
ing Zionist idealiSm?
No one really knows. But some
answers can be deduced from the
style of his retirement. He did not
settle down in one of his two mod
ern residences, in Tel Aviv or Je-
rusalem, nor even in one of the
quiet villages already long estab-
lished. He exchanged his coun-
try's highest post for the rugged
life of a pioneer in new, isolated
cattle and sheep-raising settlement
in the Negev.
He cannot, at the age of 67, have
yearned for the harsh life he is
living today. He knew the hard
ships of pioneering first-hand, hav-
ing lived through the struggling
early days of Jewish settlement in
Palestine.
1 believe that his move to Sdeh
Boxer was his way of dramatiZing
the reclamation of the desert, call
ing for modern-day pioneers to re-
turn to the soil in the spirit of the
idealists who built the Jewish
state.
Israel needs the wide spaces of
the Negev for her many thousands
of immigrants who still have no
homes. She needs the Negev for

forbidding soil. She needs the

Negev as a pathway to Elath, the
vet unborn seaport on the Gulf OF
Akaba. from which Israel will one
day sail out to the Orient.
So it was Southward Ho! for
David Ben Gurion, whose one ges-
ture of resignation was worth
thousand laws. The attention OF
the entire population, and of Is
raels friends throughout the world,
has now been drawn to the Negev;
they will answer its needs, each
in his own way.
History may yet prove that the
ex-prime minister's move from
villa to village was the most Gre
ative and inspiring act of his long
and devoted pioneering career.
"DAYS OF FEASTING and glad
ness" the Good Book prescribes.
Just as the Jews of Persia rejoiced
in their victory over the tyrant
Haman, when - thanks to Queen
Esther's heroism - their mourning
was turned into gladness, so must
we be gay on Purim, truly hap
py holiday.
And rejoice we do! In drinking
and merriment, we follow the bib
lical injunction religiously. But our
devotion sometimes ends there,
alas. leaving the rest of the Purim
lesson in oblivion.
"They should make them days
of feasting and gladness, and of
sending portions to one another,
and GIFTS TO THE POOR" 1t
is this last which seems to have
been forgotten along the way; but,
come to think of it, Purim is really
very fitting occasion for some
such tangible giving of thanks for
our joy and our abundance.
Purim season is United Jewish
Welfare Fund season in Phoenix
perfect timing, to be sure. For a
generous contribution to the wei
fare fund should Tighten cur hearts
and put right in tune with the glad
ness and merry-making of the fes'
