I scored 9/10. The only one I got wrong, I barely missed, about who exactly wrote the second set of tablets. I thought it was Moses alone, but apparently G-d had something to say about it as well Reply

Dear Rabbi,
This year I scored 10/10 without reviewing or with notes and taken directly from finishing a nap (especially since the Sabbath ends later now).
Great readings (glad they are different with new comments) and quiz.
Peace,
Deborah

On question nine
The quiz was who engraved the second tablets I answered G-d Himself.
Your answer was Moses carved the tablets and G-d engraved them
Is carving out tablets considered engraving.
And when you say who and the answer is G-d should not WHO be capitalized?

9/10; I expected 10/10 but I got question #9 incorrect. I selected Moses for making the second set of tablets only not inscribing them.
But, still an excellent quiz for another topic with many details.
Peace,
Deborah

in response to Deborah :
Your answer was completely correct. The question only solicited who hewed the stones. The ordinarily perspicacious (and funny) Rabbi Menachem appears to have gotten it wrong (to my eyes). Reply

Rabbi Menachem- I respectfully disagree with your answers to questions #8 and #9. Exodus 33:11 clearly provides וְדִבֶּ֨ר יְהֹוָ֤ה אֶל־משֶׁה֙ פָּנִ֣ים אֶל־פָּנִ֔ים כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֛ר יְדַבֵּ֥ר אִ֖ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֑הוּ . (Then the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man would speak to his companion). Thus, it appears that "His face" is a legitimate response as well. Your question #9 specifically asks who "hewed" the second set of tablets. Exodus 34:1 states וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה פְּסָל־לְךָ֛ שְׁנֵֽי־לֻחֹ֥ת אֲבָנִ֖ים כָּרִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים (And the Lord said to Moses: "Hew for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones.). Thus, the answer of "Moses" alone is certainly correct. Ezra Ben-Pesach
PS- Thank you for your Holy, informative and entertaining Service!

in response to Ezra Ben-Pesach:
I agree with you about question #9. I also selected the answer Moses; because I read G-d told him he [Moses] had to hewn stones for the second tablets since he broke the first set.
But I am not sure if the engraving by G-d [5 commandments on each tablet]
went through the stone to be read backwards. Please clarify this for me.
Thank you very much.
Peace,
Deborah

Ezra,
I just read your question about my question in the second paragraph.
As a Christian in 2024 I was new to studying the Torah in depth.
But now in 2025 I have been studying with Chabad.org and learned that G-d inscribed the second set of tablets so that the reader in front or in back can read the same inscriptions from left to right. Awesome!
Peace,
Deborah

Rabbi,
These are excellent discussions of the Parshah's contents.
The quizzes are fun, and help with the learning.
The pictures are very quaint also.
You do fantastic work.
Do you do the pictures, or as I recall does your wife do them?

8/10 this week slipped up on 2 questions .
The engraving of the second set of tablets and what Moshe did with The Golden Calf.
Careless because if I'd thought it through I probably could have come up with the right answers!
Nevertheless happy with my performance.
Great way of learning!

Dear Rabbi,
I scored 8/10 this year. I did not carefully read questions 3 and 9 and therefore selected the incorrect answers.
Peace
