Israel's annual Bible Quiz for youth is a beloved Independence Day tradition, but adults can also step up to test their knowledge. At this year's International Online Bible Contest for Adults, held Tuesday at the Jerusalem International Convention Center, Modiin resident Yedidia Meyuchas carried off the honors.
Meyuchas, an educator at the Avnei HaChoshen Elementary School in Modiin, also won the contest in 2017.

Meyuchas faced off against 18 other national Bible Contest winners from Israel and abroad.
Second place went to Binyamin Rosenzweig, who teaches religious subjects at Or Hashachar Elementary School in Ramat Hasharon.
An American, Shnayor Burton of Brooklyn, placed third.
According to the Education Ministry, which sponsors the competition, the event aims to unite the Jewish people in Israel and the Diaspora around the Torah, which it calls the "root of Jewish identity and values."
The competition was broadcast live.
