Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — 50 questions on Israel's geography, tech, and history
Hebrew is the only ancient language ever successfully revived as a daily spoken mother tongue — a project led almost single-handedly by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda starting in 1881. The State of Israel, declared independent in 1948, is a land of extraordinary contrasts: the ancient and the ultramodern, the desert Negev and the Mediterranean coast, Jerusalem's holiest sites and Tel Aviv's thriving tech scene that earned the country its 'Start-up Nation' reputation.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll cover Israel's founding, key wars, Jerusalem's holy sites, the Dead Sea, Masada, the Hebrew language revival, notable inventions and tech companies, political leaders from Ben-Gurion to Netanyahu, peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, kibbutzim, the IDF, and Israeli cuisine from falafel to shakshuka.
Israel designates Jerusalem as its capital, though this is not universally recognised internationally. Most countries historically maintained embassies in Tel Aviv, but the United States moved its embassy to Jerusalem in 2018. The status of Jerusalem remains one of the central issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948, when the British Mandate for Palestine expired. David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. The United States recognised Israel within hours; the Arab-Israeli War immediately followed.
The Dead Sea is a salt lake on the border of Israel and Jordan, at approximately 435 metres below sea level — the lowest point on Earth's land surface. It is about 9.6 times saltier than the ocean, making it nearly impossible for any living organisms to survive in it, and so dense that people float effortlessly on its surface.
