does R’’ Akiva’s incorrect assumption of the identification of משיח question at all his status of authority and רוח הקדוש? Reply

As a good goyim family, ‘crowd sourcing’ the answers between 3 of us, we now know a little about Rabi Akiva who we had never heard of before and still got 6/10 correct!
Thank you, this was very educational. Bring on the next quiz! Reply

9/10 but, As a gentile I had never heard of Rabbi Akiva so, I studied before taking the quiz. I enjoyed learning from it. Reply

7/10 I did not think I would do well on this quiz. To be honest I was scared to take this quiz. I am glad I did. I did not do so badly. I am glad I went against my fear.
Thank you for these quizzes. Reply

Wow, 10/10! I've learned a lot about R' Akiva from midrashim, and I've always loved these stories. But I never expected to get all the answers right! Reply

10/10
But why?
This week's Torah portion, Parsha: Acharei Mos is referenced Aaron's sons being killed. That they were so exuberant...you know the story. That Rabbi Akiva was so exuberant he continued to teach Torah even under threat of death.
Question: Rabbi Akiva said something like A Jew without Torah is like a fish out of water.
Is that why the Romans filet him? Like a fish? Reply
