5/10 Haha I'm in a stage of life where I'm focused on my littles moreso than my parents! But I'm still proud to know as much as I do. Reply

Enjoying your quizzes Rabbi Posner. A great way to learn. The more we learn one realizes how little we know. I love the quiz on honouring parents. Honouring them and loving them and our siblings, and loving all the ones around us. Reply

Wow. I need a brush up on my Hebrew language. The only question I missed is hebrew gone wrong. 😀Thanks, Rabbi Menachem Reply

Who is Netinah? And, who is Dama, for that matter? Reply

in response to Maria:
Dama was a diamond merchant in the times of the Holy Temple. He had some of the stones needed for the high priest's garments. When the Rabbis came to buy them, the only way for him to get the stones was by waking up his father (Netinah). Dama lost a tremendous amount of Money for this. Later, his cow gave birth to a red heifer as a reward for his sacrifice. Reply

wouldn't his father have preferred the tremendous amount of money in exchange for an early wakening? I would be bitterly saddened if we would've missed out on such an opportunity because my son didn't wake me. Reply

Did it again - 10/10 ! Thanks, Rabbi. Great and nurturing! Reply
My parents were not ill-intended. Just blind to my sister's abusing me, and to my 5 learning disabilities. I cannot think or speak ill of my father, but in my profession I cannot fail to see his faults. His heart scarred by rheumatic fever, quite predictably my father died young, I was 19, My mother blamed me for killing him with worry. I have a Ph.D. They were a family that only valued academic performance. My mother went to her grave without ever calling me "doctor." They were a mixed marriage, and fully nonobservant. My Rabbi said it was unnecessary but I formally converted in my 20s. But I know I have only ever been a Jew. At my father's funeral the presiding Rabbi observed that I was the only one there who knew the Kaddish. I had never been to synagogue at that time.I don't know how I knew it, but I'll always believe that I know what it means. I wish I had an upbeat, simple story to tell. But the truth is the case. Ain't no gettin' 'round it.
