Top marks in final of bible quiz

AJN STAFF

VICTORIA’S Jewish students showed off their knowledge in the state finals of the 2009 Youth Bible Quiz held on Sunday August 9.

Organised by the Zionist Federation of Australia, with the assistance of the Zionist Council of Victoria, the winner of the quiz was 14-year-old Beth Rivkah Ladies College student Sara Kaltmann.

Sara, who will now represent Victoria in November’s national finals along with runner-up and fellow Beth Rivkah student Aliza Teller, followed in the footsteps of her sister, who won the contest in 2007, and her brother, who was last year’s runner-up.

Last year’s Australian winner Noa Bloch, who travelled to Israel to compete internationally, addressed quiz participants.

“Each of you today truly are a winner, just being here up on this stage proves it. I hope that you have all benefited the amount that I have and it’s only the start, it keeps getting better,” Noa said.
