David Raziel (December 19, 1910 - May 20, 1941) was a fighter of the Jewish underground during the British Mandate of Palestine, and one of the founders of the Irgun.
Born in Smorgon, Vilna district in the Russian Empire, he immigrated with his family at the age of three to the Land of Israel, where his father became a Hebrew teacher at a Tel-Aviv elementary school.
When the 1929 Hebron massacre broke out, he joined the Haganah in Jerusalem, where he was studying philosophy and mathematics at the Hebrew University.
Best of all, perhaps, is the fact that Smorgon's beloved wife Roslyn will today deliver the presidential address at the Bulldogs-Kangaroos pre-match lunch on her husband's behalf.
But it has not been an easy year for this committed football couple, and Smorgon is more serious when he stresses that he never had any intention of quitting and would do so only if his family circumstances required it.
Smorgon makes no apologies for insisting that his players take better care of the club's assets, whether they be footballs or themselves.
