Annual Report 2022 | The 20th Anniversary of the OR Movement 2 An excerpt from one of David Ben-Gurion's letters (1954) The calling of the youth - indeed, the calling of every good man in the state - is to be a source of light, to do a little more than the state demands of him, as much as he can - to do the most possible. To take action of substance is to take positive action: not to thwart the evil of others, but to do good yourself, with the entirety of your creative capacity. Of the positive things that there are to be done - and that the state cannot require - there are mainly two: heading to the Olim and heading to pioneering of new settlements... If thousands of young persons arise and do this, they will thus stifle all corruption and vacuity. Light, in and of itself, expels darkness.
