Ohr Chadash Academy (OCA) is proudly to announces that two students from their Chidon HaTanach classes have qualified for the national finals of the Chidon HaTanach competition in New York on May 4. Mazel Tov to Gavi Erez (‘27) and Eitan Lane (‘25) who qualified from the Middle School National Division. The Chidon HaTanach is sponsored by the Jewish Agency and is open to students in grades 6-12. OCA is registered in the highly competitive Hebrew Middle School division of the Chidon HaTanach for schools that learn and master the text in Lashon HaKodesh. Over 600 students from across the United States participated in the first round of tests.
Under the guidance of Rabbi Mordechai Abrahams, dedicated OCA middle school students worked hard to learn the majority of Sefer Devarim, all of Shmuel Alef and Ruth, as well as parts of Divrei HaYamim alef.
At the national finals, students will take further tests and celebrate their knowledge of these sefarim. The top four students in the nation will represent the U.S. in the International Chidon HaTanach competition next summer.
OCA is thrilled that for the sixth year they will be sending representatives to national finals. Hatzlacha Rabbah to Gavi and Eitan!
