Dear Rabbi,
A quick read and I finished my studies early this weekend. I scored 9/9.
I have a question for you. I want to chat about if it is possible to have a double Parshah with Bechukotai and Bamidbar together next year?
I am asking the question because last weekend the Parshahs Behar & Bechukotai were very detailed and lengthy. In my opinion both Parshahs represented important details that Lord G-d revealed about self to the Israelites that required serious reading and study to understand. Also, the Parshah Behar was enough for a weekend Shabbat Torah reading with many commandments to know from our Commander.
I was not a slacker last week because I read both readings, but it took a long time (after the end of the Shabbat ending time).
Please, think about my request.
Peace,
Deborah

in response to Deborah:
Judaism is a very traditional religion, relying a whole lot on precedent, and so it is extremely unlikely that any shul on any given Shabbat will start joining Bechukotai and BaMidbar together Reply

I scored 9/9, which is a pleasant surprise for me since this is not among my favorite Torah portions Reply

Good evening Rabbi,
I scored 8/9; question 9 was tricky; I should had selected my first answer. I rejoiced today because I took the quiz without any written notes (which took a year to accomplish and with the help of the “All Mighty”). Thank you for all the great quizzes after studying the Torah.
Peace,
Deborah

Rabbi,
Please explain the answer to question 5. Because, in the roundup it stated: the Levites camped in groups of three…. ; and “Around the Levites were camped the rest of the People of Israel, in four groups”. I am confused about the camps or the wording of question 5.

Thank you Rebbe.

Thank you for this week's quiz!
Respectfully, the possible answers to Question 5 are not ideal insofar as the first and second choices are both correct.
In response to Question 1 the first choice is also not ideal since Bamidbar includes the letters for the word midaber which does indeed mean speak. (Though someone aware of this would not get the question wrong).
The first choice in response to Question 7 as to who are Levi's sons, including "Irving" was funny!
