The contest is separate from the annual government-sponsored quiz for youth, who reach the final round on Independence Day.
Moshe Abu-Aziz, who won the highest prize (one million shekels, or $255,000) on the 'One vs 1-Hundred' game show explained the difference between the TV show and the Tanach Contest 'In the contest on TV, I was on my own, but the people here are all united, and it is worth the hours of traveling to get here. We study together, ask each other hard questions, and it’s fun.'"
