KDVP claims Israel Quiz trophy again

King David High School Victory Park (KDHSVP) pupils have won the Israel Quiz nine times since its inception in 2004, with five runners up over the same period.

This year, they did it again, with Amira Karstaedt taking the prize in the competition – held online for the first time – on 10 September.

Named the Shimon Peres Israel Quiz in honour of the late Israel President Shimon Peres, the competition requires an in-depth study of the history of Zionism and Israeli current affairs.

Morah Ben Moshe, Head of Hebrew at KDHSVP, and her team of Hebrew teachers, has been responsible for preparing participants since the quiz was launched 16 years ago.

Competition winners from KDHSVP over the years include: Ori Dittrich (2004); Dan Ginsberg (2005); Shaun Croock (2006); Romy Wulfsohn (2009); Saul Maserow (2011); Joshua Arenson (2016); Tzipora Krawitz (2017); and Liron Krawitz (2018). Runners up include Joshua Eliason (2007); Daniel Katzew (2008); Jonathan Croock (2010); Oren Karstaedt (2011); and Yosef Bank (2014).

The school is extremely proud of all its participants and winners.
