A 16-year-old Petach Tikvah girl beat out male competition to win Israel’s national Bible quiz here last night. She is Rivka Goldberg, a sixth-term student at a religious high school, who captured the title of "Bride of 1968" for her knowledge of the Bible. Miss Goldberg will represent Israel in the international Bible contest, along with her two runners-up, Shabtai Askenazi and Aryeh Katz.
