Look forward to taking these quizzes every Shabbat! Since the start of the most recent reading cycle, I've been wanting to rely more on memory to keep my mind sharp and make sure I've been retaining what I've learned over the years. Got a perfect score on this one, Baruch HaShem! 🙏 Reply

I scored really poorly this time, at 7/10. One of the questions that threw me was the one about the plague of darkness, which I always thought lasted only three days, not six. I think i also scored this low because I am taking this quiz late at night, and it also happens to be really hot outside and so that negatively affects my thinking ability as well Reply

Dear Rabbi,

I scored 9/10 (I noticed that in January 2024 I scored 6/10); what a change in my study of the Torah and understanding.

Question number 3 was tricky and the one I had wrong; because I read several readings that mentioned 3 days and or 7 days but not 6 days. Please clarify where the six days is written?

Peace,
Deborah Reply

Dear Rabbi Posner,

I scored 6 out of 10 on this quiz; my lowest for this month. Questions 3, 5, 6, and 8 were tricky or I didn’t study well enough today to select the correct answers. But, it was a great quiz and I will remember my mistakes and why I got the questions wrong.

Peace,

Rabbi,
For question 3, I think the answer should be three.
The Torah says there were three days of thick darkness.
I don't see any mention of three other days of darkness. Reply

8/10 I really enjoy these quizzes! Thanks Rabbi Posner! Shabbat Shalom. Reply

Rabbi,
Another excellent quiz, great for learning the Parshah.
I know it may sound wrong, but I don't understand Rashi's explanation for question #3.
The Torah specifically says three days of darkness.
Can you explain why Rashi translates this to six days? Reply
