Fodor's Expert Review Ben-Gurion House

Center City Historic Home

To learn more about the history of the state of Israel, visit the modest house where its first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, lived from 1931 to 1953. Historical material and curious snippets of information give insight into both his personal and public life. Don't miss the statue of him doing a headstand in a pair of blue briefs on Frishman Beach. It turns out this hardened political strategist was also an early adopter of yoga, and rumor has it he could often be spotted standing on his head in his garden or on the beach—even during his time as Prime Minister.
