For the first time: the European Bible Quiz, with hundreds of teenagers

As part of a joint initiative of the “Conference of European Rabbis” and the Jewish Agency, the first European Bible quiz will take place. Hundreds of Jewish students, aged 14 to 18, from schools across Europe will take part. The final will bring together 50 participants in a public competition in Tevet 5785, where the European Bible Champion will be crowned. The winners will also participate in the International Bible Quiz in Jerusalem.

The event will bring together esteemed judges, such as Rabbi Avichai Apel, president of the Rabbis of Germany and vice-president of the conference. He stressed the importance of bringing the Bible – the foundation of Jewish and human culture – closer to European Jewish youth. Gadi Gronich, chief of staff to the conference president, explained that this quiz is not just a competition but a tool to build spiritual resilience, especially in difficult times.

Rabbi Amir Ostashinsky, head of the project, pointed out that in previous years the quiz was only held in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This year it will expand to all European countries, with judges including local rabbis and educators selecting representatives from each country. The final will take place at the “Ohel Yaakov” synagogue in Munich, in the presence of government representatives and Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter.
