Yoel Drubin was a member of the Bilu group, which was a group of Jews that fled persecution in Russia by joining the Political Zionist movement and migrating to Palestine. There, he became an important founder of the city of Rishon LeZion, Israel's fourth largest city after Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa. His historical importance is in contributing to the Zionist movement, eventually resulting in modern-day Israel in 1948.
