Rubinger took about half a million pictures over the course of his lifetime, and Alex Libek wrote about him that he became the "State Photographer." In a certain sense, he was David Ben-Gurion's "house photographer." Teddy Kollek, former mayor of Jerusalem said about Rubinger: "It's hard to express in words the feeling that you get from David Rubinger's pictures, if there's a feeling that does not loosen its grip on you with words, it is their insufficiency. To tell the story of Israel as these photographers do, would take entire volumes, and they would still miss the target."
