Thank you for your quizzes! Would glad to have a mix of easy and hard questions. But, in any case, thank you, Rabbi Posner, so much for doing them! Reply

This was good, I enjoyed this brain teaser. But I would like to ask you rabbi only so that those of us who are Sephardi don't feel left out, as the history of the Sephardi and Mizrahi is just as important. Can you include questions related to Sephardi and Ladion? Like the one mentioned above, whether a person knows enough Yidish to order a Bagel in New York? Since Chabad is worldwide, including places like Spain, Argentina, Greece, and Brazil I think you should include lessons related to this. Non Jews already think all Jews are blond hair and have blue eyes and come from Eastern Europe, so some of us experience racism on two fronts, antisemitism and for being of a darker complexion. It would be most appreciative if Chabad helps us and talk as much about our community as it talks about the Ashkenazi community. Thank you rabbi for your consideration Reply

Hi David!

That was an excellent suggestion. You inspire me to write this page with 19 Facts everyone should know about Sephardim.

Enjoy! Reply

First I thought the quiz was too easy
Then I got three wrong. But it is Solomon's palace and the holy temple the same?
Thanks Reply

A non-Jew. Keenly reading and participating in the quizzes by the Rebbi and all other articles of Chabad for the last four years. Out of 14, 12 answers were correct. Answer to question no.12 and 13 went wrong. May G-d bless every one who attempts the quiz Reply
