What is the Ben-Gurion Society (BGS)?
New to Portland, the Ben Gurion Society (BGS) is a local and nationally recognized group for young adults ages 21 to 45 who demonstrate community leadership. BGS is where passionate young leaders and philanthropists in our community amplify their impact and create change for our Portland Jewish Community. The Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) was founded on the principles of David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel who urged young men and women to channel their passion, power and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community.
