Bible Quizzing in Hebrew!

We have covered other different Bible quizzing systems here before, but I think this may be the first time that I have come across a form of Bible quizzing in the original language!
In preparation for the famously difficult quiz — offered in Hebrew for yeshiva students and in English for supplementary school students on middle- and high-school levels — Darren and Ike needed to familiarize themselves thoroughly with about 70 chapters from the Tanach — the Five Books of Moses, Prophets, and Writings — along with selected rabbinic commentaries. In order to advance to the national finals, students must first participate in a three-part regional qualifying round, which both brothers had done successfully ever since seventh grade.
Congratulations to the winners of this amazing competition, and for now I'll just be glad our quizzing uses an English translation and not the original Greek!
