As part of the continued cooperation with the South African Zionist Federation in South Africa and the Israel Centre, Telfed’s deputy director, Dorron Kline was brought out to Johannesburg to assist with the planning and running of the finals of the annual “Israel Quiz” and to act as the quiz master. 15 participants from the Jewish Day Schools in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth made it through to the final round which consisted of written and oral components, combining audio visual and “rapid fire” questions relating to the history and accomplishments of modern Zionism.

10 questions were also set aside for audience participation. As each round progressed, the number of finalists was gradually whittled down to five. The nail biting finish gave the winning trophy to Shira Amar of Yeshiva College, who won by one point! Each participant won a prize, ranging from MP3 players, to lap tops and DVD’s. Shira’s prize was a free trip to Israel together with pocket money, sponsored by El Al.
 
“Telfed is first and foremost a community organisation,” said Maish Isaacson, Telfed’s Chairman. “Our focus is obviously on the Southern African community in Israel, but where possible we are happy to assist the SAZF and Israel Centre in South Africa with Zionist education and promotion. Well done to all the participants – each one of you won by increasing your knowledge and pride in the achievements of the State of Israel.”
