Other than the two I totally guessed at, I scored a perfect goose egg. Reply

Well...........I took the quizz three times now and I still failed miserably. Each time I fail a little less miserably so there is hope !! Reply

I got 7 out of 10 right on a very difficult test. Sometimes the more difficult tests work out easier. Thank you Rabbi Posner for the opportunity to take the quiz and learn from the results. Reply

Shalom...I presupposed that I would do miserably on this quizz and I was correct.
The second time I took the quizz, I did a little less miserably.
Apparently, if I live long enough (?), I will do better on my third, fourth and fifth attempt.

Yikes, I had no idea how I had no ideas re: the Great Kabbalists. Now I have to review the quizz answers and imagine that my addled brain will absorb SOMETHING.
Peace on this Earth in this ridiculous universe. AMEN. Reply

4/10 by far the worst I have ever done on one of your quizzes. Clearly
I have a lot of history to learn in this area! Thanks for the wake-up call! Reply

I took this quiz again. I still got 6 out of 10. Reply

Only slightly better the 3rd time: 7 out of 10. Reply

9/10. Question #8 should specify "in exile," because the vast majority of his Torah was written when he wasn't in exile. Ironically it's only those insights written in exile that we have today. Reply

4/10 As a Noahide you are not allowed to study true Kabbalah by yourself. (see The Divine Code by Rabbi Moshe Weiner) Reply
