An interesting historical letter portraying Ben Gurion's attitude towards religious education."I am not afraid of religious education. Jewish education is not only…the Hebrew language…but the Book of Books in its source which is the identity, honor and majesty of the Jewish nation…knowledge of this immortal book will bequeath to the young generation the acquaintance of its roots, growth and national destiny and will ensure their connection to the hope of their nation in the homeland”
