Twenty Israeli children are to travel to the UK for the first time to compete in a large-scale inter-school Jewish general knowledge competition in London.
The children from the bilingual King Solomon School in Ramat Hasharon, have been studying the Etgar Challenge curriculum and been encouraged by Cobi Ebrahimoff, the school's headmaster to take part.
Mr Ebrahimoff said: “They are very much looking forward to competing.”
The Etgar Challenge is a cross-communal quiz held at the end of every school year. It features Year 5 pupils from every mainstream Orthodox school in the country joining together at the culmination of an academic year’s Jewish learning. This is the first time the quiz has featured pupils from outside the UK.
