Israel's Bible Quiz

A teenager who believes in Jesus was Jerusalem’s representative in Israel’s annual youth Bible quiz. A group called Yad L’Ahim asked religious Jews to boycott the event because of Bat El Levy’s messianic beliefs. But Israel’s Education Ministry rejected calls for banning her participation. A 15-year-old from Nahariya won yesterday’s contest. American Dov Mordechai Nadal was third. In all, 65 contestants from 37 countries took part.
