성경을 못 아니 읽지 않는다?

성경의 나라에서 성경을 읽지않는다? 이거 심각한 문제죠.
최근 이스라엘 교육부에서는 대학 입학 시험 과목중 "성경 읽기 -그것도 큰 소리로 읽기"를 추가시켰습니다. 일선 교사들이, 학생들이 성경을 성경을 소리 내서 읽지 않거나, 혹은 잘못 읽거나 읽는 수준이 형편 없다는 문제를 제기하였기 때문입니다.
릴리 리베카라는 성경 교사는, 학생들이 성경 한구절도 제대로 읽지 못한다 라고 지적을 했습니다.

하엘비는 "성경이 뭐 다른 나라 언어로 되어 있나요?" 라고 하는 군요.

이제 곧 위원회가 조성되고 학생들뿐 아니라 일반인들에게도 성경 읽기를 권장하는 사업을 한답니다.

올해 성경 ‘p번 아닌 몇장 아니면 몇 구절 읽으셨나요?
히브리어 성경 말고 한글 성경요....

High school Bible exams to include chanting

By Yulie Khromchenko

The Education Ministry has decided that students studying Bible for their matriculation exams will also have to be tested orally in Torah cantillation. The ministry says its intention is to get students to read aloud properly and to learn to love the Bible.

The ministry's inspector of Torah studies, Drora Halevy, has instructed schools to teach the pupils to read aloud six verses from the book of Genesis. The students will be tested for fluency (30 percent), correct intonation (20 percent), pronunciation (20 percent) and basic Torah cantillation (30 percent). The oral exam will be worth eight points out of a total of 100.

The decision was made after many teachers complained that pupils can no longer read texts aloud. "I've been teaching for 30 years, and for the last few years I have witnessed how students' ability to read aloud is deteriorating," said Miri Rom, a Bible studies teacher at the ORT school in Kiryat Bialik. "The pupils cannot read a Hebrew text even when it's written in big and clear letters."

Lily Ribak, a Bible studies teacher at Katzir High School in Holon, agrees. "They can't read one verse without mistakes. They must be exposed more to the Bible, which will enrich their language and imaginations."

"The language of the Bible is not a foreign language," says Halevy. "It is a rich language that brings across to us the full charm of the Bible. Improving the ability of students to read the Bible will bring them closer to the text and help them enjoy their studies."

The new test requirements will be reflected in this year's syllabus.

Meanwhile, the ministry has decided to establish a public council for encouraging love of the Bible. It will have 38 members, headed by Justice Mishael Cheshin, and will include representatives of the media, arts and higher education. The council will encourage Bible studies among the secular population through various activities including quizzes, tours with biblical themes and encouraging literature with a biblical background. The council will start operating in the coming weeks.
