Schools to spice up bible studies with teen TV series

By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10

Tags: Israel, Bible studies, TV

Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for December 13, 2007.

The Education Ministry aims to combat students' inability to relate to the Bible with a new TV series based on biblical stories.

The Beverly Hills 90210-style drama, produced by the Logi children's TV channel, will be shown to raise students' interest in the ancient text.
