Sde Boker (, lit. ''Herding Field'') is a kibbutz in the Negev desert of southern Israel. Best known as the retirement home of Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ramat HaNegev Regional Council. In its population was . ==History== A large agricultural farm or small village existed here in the early Islamic period, from the late 7th century to the early 9th century.〔.〕 Remains of dozens of structures exist, including a mosque near which hundreds of Arabic inscriptions were found.〔 The kibbutz was established on 15 May 1952. In 1953 Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion resigned from office and moved to the kibbutz. Although he returned to politics in 1955, he continued to live in the kibbutz until his death in 1973, when he was buried nearby at Midreshet Ben-Gurion aside his wife Paula Ben-Gurion. Ben-Gurion moved to the kibbutz due to his vision of cultivating the arid Negev desert and building up its surrounding towns such as Yeruham and Dimona. He believed that eventually the Negev would be home to many Jews who would move to Israel, and he felt that Sde-Boker was a trailblazer and example for what should follow. There is a museum dedicated to David Ben Gurion there. In his official writings Ben-Gurion often mused about his efforts at rejuvenating the arid Negev: It is also well known for its Bedouin tents.〔.〕 In 2014, it was host to the Midburn festival. Today Ben-Gurion's kibbutz home, "Tzrif Ben-Gurion", is a museum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sde Boker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
