It is only in Hebrew that you feel the full meaning of it -- all the associations which a different word has.
David Ben-GurionWe don't consider manual work as a curse, or a bitter necessity, not even as a means of making a living. We consider it as a high human function, as the basis of human life, the most dignified thing in the life of the human being, and which ought to be free, creative. Men ought to be proud of it.
David Ben-Gurion
