Haim Weizmann
Haim Weizmann (1874-1952) was a prominent Zionist leader, chemist, and the first President of Israel. Born in Belarus, he played a crucial role in the establishment of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was instrumental in securing the Balfour Declaration from the British government in 1917, which supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Weizmann's scientific contributions, particularly in the field of chemistry, were significant, but it was his political acumen and leadership within the Zionist movement that left a lasting impact on the creation of the State of Israel.
