American Teens Achieve Historic Success in Israel's International Bible Quiz
American teens have achieved their highest scores in 50 years at Israel's International Bible Quiz, a key event during the country's Independence Day celebrations. Jackson Shrier, a 15-year-old from Los Angeles, placed second, while Joshua Appelbaum from Washington, D.C., and Hadassah Esther Ritch from New Jersey secured third and fourth places, respectively. The competition, which tests knowledge of the Hebrew Bible, saw Shrier excel in Hebrew proficiency, impressing judges. This year's performance marks a significant achievement for American participants, who typically rank lower in the competition.
