This week ETGAR visited our Year 9 students to launch the ETGAR Israel challenge, an inter-school quiz for Year 9 students, based on knowledge of Israeli history, politics, culture and more. Students enjoyed puzzling out some difficult tasks and showing off what they already know about Israel.

The quiz will take place on Yom Ha’atzmaut in the summer term. Students wishing to join the team should visit the Jewish Studies department for details on where and when weekly preparation sessions will take place.

In the last few years, JFS has done really well at the ETGAR Israel challenge, with our current Year 9s we are sure we can meet or better our previous records!
