The president was moved to tears when an actor dressed as Peres's old friend, former prime minister David Ben-Gurion, joined the celebrations to award the president with a certificate making him an honorary member of the kibbutz."I was looking at Ben-Gurion earlier and I had tears in my eyes, I really wish he could've seen you make his dream in the Negev into a reality," Peres told the people of Nir Yitzhak.The president took part of the Shavuot mitzva of "Bikkurim," in which farmers bring their first fruits, reminiscent of when they brought their harvest to the Temple, danced the children of the kibbutz, and even got to return to the days of his youth at the kibbutz and feed a calf.
