Etgar, the educational organisation which runs an annual Jewish knowledge quiz for Jewish primary schools, has launched a fresh initiative: an Israel debating programme for sixthformers.
The inaugural programme has just finished, with a second series in the pipeline for next term.
Etgar co-founder Adam Taub explained, “Debating is a brilliant way for young Jewish students to increase their knowledge of Israel, strengthen their identity and prepare them for the hostile environment they are likely to encounter at university.”
The organisation already stages an annual Israel knowledge quiz for young secondary school pupils on Yom Ha’atzmaut.
