WOW !! I knew an answer I did not pick and the women were right in my head. I already knew Sarah was first but I had to put Leah ahead of Rachel; when I did that Sarah was left out.
I knew it was the mishnah, not focused for that one either. I guess I expected to fail and didn’t disappoint. WOW !!! My own fault.

I've never heard of Acharonim at all.
I thought Rabbi Akiva lived a little later than he actually did. But, I just found that he was 20 years old when the Second Temple was destroyed.
A hard quiz.

Yulanda,
You get an A+ for effort! "Nothing beats a failure but a try", so I am told, and I attest to it that it is true! Don't stop! Keep going! Your bravery will take you places! You are a champion!

Hi, Lauren
You are 75 years young, you love learning, and that's a good thing! You are a beautiful inspiration for everyone! Although you thought that you didn't do well, to me, you did very well because you tried and you learned something new. You are an example that we all should follow; broaden your horizons and never stop learning!
Best wishes,

Did they have bound volumes in Rabbi Akiva's time? Even though I didn't respond with " The Louisiana Purchase", it was the only period where bound volumes could be found. Just being myself here - some would say "picky!" All in good nature.... Reply
