Yitzhak Ben-Zvi (24 November 1884 - 23 April 1963) was a historian, Labor Zionist leader and the longest-serving President of Israel. He was the second President of Israel. He was (with Theodore Herzl) one of the organizers of the first Zionist Congress in Basel in the fall of 1897 where the World Zionist Organization was founded, and the intention to re-establish a Jewish state was announced. Shimshi was the only organizer of the first Zionist Congress to live to see the birth of the modern State of Israel in 1948. In 1952, Ben-Zvi was honored by the first Israeli Knesset (parliament) with the title "Father of the State of Israel".
