Thank you Rabbi Posner.. These quiz's kick-start the brain into thinking. I am not perfect, but maybe some time soon. 7 out of 10 this time and I should know better. Reply

Thanks to rabbi Gordon on chabad.org I was able to get all answers right Reply

Boy, did I ever mess up. I knew of the 10 plagues. Every Pesach we recite the 10 plagues but, never where they originated. Thank you, I will read Exodus and not just skim over. Good Shabbos on 1/7/22 Reply

IT started in the Nile & ended in the Red Sea for Pharaoh & the Egyptians...

Rabbi Posner, thank you for the informative quiz that seems to have raised a few interesting questions.

What is the source of these questions?
Torah was scripted in ancient Hebrew. Naturally, in today's world with so many definitions, and the evolving of languages, all sorts of questions may come to the mind as we may view the ancient events based on today's understanding that differs from the past.

Hence, if I may suggest that you would consider writing a piece in (Fascinating Jewish Facts) about '' how should we comprehend ancient scriptures'' and ''what factors we may consider'' when we read an ancient text such as Bereishit.

The above is only a suggestion.

Kind regards. Reply

I got half right in this quiz. Thank you for these quizzes.

I got 10/10!!!!! Reply

The lice! The lice! כינים
I can't believe I missed it... 9/10 - OY!
That was really entertaining. Especially the plague of arov! I didn't know that it could actually have been about animals and not insects. I'd never heard the history about the Hebrews hunting animals and then having those animals used against them! Where is that (I'd really like to read up on it)? Thank you again, Rabbi, for making this available. It's a big help! Reply

Hello, Rabbi Posner

Are gnats and lice the same thing? I don't think so, but it worked out in the end [10/10]. Lots of fun!

Is the last answer correct? Grasshoppers and locusts are not the same. Reply

I love these quizzes, they are so fun.
And looking at the proposed answers to question 4 it stuck me that if you didn't know the true answer, pouring boiling water into the Nile doesn't seem much different than throwing ashes into the sky, in terms of effort, the common nature of the item used (ashes verses boiling water), where it was put (into a river verses up into the sky).
So why the use of ashes, and what is the meaning of the skyward toss? That would be a great link to have revealed after you answer the question.... Reply
