In early April, Revivim hosted a group of 70 high school students who are studying in the accelerated Bible matriculation tracks in Jerusalem’s Beit Hinuch and René Cassin high schools. The visit was dedicated to "Lies and Secrets in Families: Why Does the Bible Like Liars?". The students were accompanied by their Bible teachers, three of whom are Revivim graduates who were eager to introduce their students to the University through an enrichment program in Bible. The program included a special lecture by Prof. Nili Wazana of the University's Bible Department which raised the question " Is a lie such a bad thing?", followed by small study groups with Revivim's first-year students, focusing on the Biblical story of Amnon and Tamar. Revivim was delighted to its host graduates and their students, who all enjoyed an interesting and thought provoking visit!
