WITH SCHOOL YEAR AROUND THE CORNER, NETANYAHU SAYS ‘STUDY BIBLE’:

"Excellence and Zionism,” with an emphasis on Bible study, are the root of an education "revolution” the government wants to bring about, PM Benjamin Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting held 30 August 2016, two days before the start of the new school year. "First of all the study of the Bible,” he said. "We must make a major effort, this is the basis for why we are here, why we have returned here, why we stay here.” In addition, he said, it is important to teach about Jewish contributions to civilization, as well as general history and knowledge. "Knowledge is a critical word,” he said. "We want to give it to every child in Israel, Jews and non-Jews as one, religious and secular. This is the basis of the new world, and the basis of Israel as a strong nation in the world.” (J. Post) Prime Minister Netanyahu’s educational thrusts and goals are indeed the very roots of the faith that are needed for the nation of Israel today and in the future. Pray that educational resources towards these ends will be introduced into school rooms across the Jewish nation. "A wise man is strong, yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.” Prov. 24:5
