Regulations of the International Bible Quiz for Adults 2023

The international Bible quiz for adults is a tradition that began in the year of the decade of the country of Israel. The purpose of the quiz is to strengthen the connection of the Diaspora contestants to their brothers in Israel through the joint study of the Bible. The Bible is the basis of our existence as a people, and in it is our hope for the future.
The quiz is held once every two years during Hanukkah, and is preceded by a preparation camp.
The quiz is intended for members of the Jewish people from its various streams, religious and non-religious, over the age of 21

Allowed to participate:
1. Residents of Israel who have lived abroad for more than 15 years, even if they hold a foreign passport.
2. Those who have not previously won one of the first two places in the international quiz for adults.
3. Those who have not participated twice in the Bible camp for adults.
4. Those who are not envoys / bearers of official duties on behalf of the State of Israel in the Diaspora.

In countries where a public quiz was held (USA, Argentina and France), up to two contestants will participate in the quiz. From the rest of the countries, only one contestant will participate, the one who scored the highest score in his country at the end of the online phase.
The costs of flights to Israel and accommodation at the Bible camp are sponsored by the ministry

The international quiz will mark the 75th anniversary of the State of Israel
