11/11. I'm more likely to get a perfect score when it has to do with food. :-) Reply

🌻Good Morning🌻

Dear Chabad,

I was attending shul at a reform Temple in 2018. The synagogue was historic and founded by Sephardic Jews. The closest synagogue was in that state and I had to travel to that state, but I didn't mind because I liked the congregation, activities, and rabbi. I was going to convert, but COVID happened and as you know that changed the order of how we do things in America and the world. They have been closed and have not been open for services or activities. There is a Jewish gymnasium activity center nearby the Temple in that state. I will check again.

Shabbat Shalom,

🕊💜 Reply

On the box of matzah, it says "Challah is taken." I always wondered where they took it. Reply

[9/11]. Question #1: I wasn't paying attention to answer [a]. Challah is fluffy. Question #6: Although the challah is covered, some traditions wait until after the kiddush is said before bringing the challah to the table. So, maybe I got a 10/11? :)
Challah taste so yummy! You must restrain yourself from eating too much.

Thank you Rabbi Posner! Reply

I agree. I got 10/11 because I learnt in Halacha (Jewish Law) class that some people bring it in after kiddush and that it what EVERYONE used to do when the halacha was made that it should be covered. Rabbi Posner, if you can double check that one, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much for the quizzes! Have a wonderful Shabbos! Reply

Rabbi Menachem (et al)- Re: Question 1- Would you kindly provide the citation in the Torah where the word "Challah" is used to describe "[t]he piece of dough that is set aside for the priests (and burned)? Reply
