Israel to hold teen Bible contest on videoconference
For the first time, the International Bible Quiz will not be held in person on Independence Day in Jerusalem.
Instead, the teen competitors will be videoconferencing in from around the world.
The event is set to begin at 11 a.m.
Meanwhile, the annual Independence Day morning ceremony at the President’s Residence is held without an audience and without the IDF soldiers who are awarded citations during the event. The ceremony has been pre-recorded.
