Bnei Zion Academy to temporarily close in wake of flash flood disaster

The Joint Council of the Pre-Military Academies announced Thursday it will temporarily close the Bnei Zion pre-military academy following the flash flood disaster a month and a half ago.

“The managing committee of the Joint Council has decided to offer the Bnei Zion academy an opportunity to rebuild itself, through a transparent public process, and we believe the academy should not be re-opened until this process is completed," read the statement.
