I congratulate you on your departure and wish you to follow the difficult path of searching for a way and effort, incessant improvement of your ways of working and diligence in your personal integrity. Work tirelessly out of joy and obsession and establish generations of fulfillers, role and deed models, whose fate of the State and its future and its image are creators of cultural values for the people of Israel and the entire world. With a warmhearted blessing??

The Midreshet Sde Boker was founded in 1963, and the school maintained a close relationship with Ben-Gurion and his family. After his death, Ben-Gurion and his wife, Paula, were buried near the school.
