7/10 Wonderful! Reply

Yitty Toms River December 14, 2024

8/10 great quiz Reply

Yitzhak Israel December 8, 2024

Might I suggest restructuring questions like question 1 to read:

1. All of the below
2. None of the below
3.
4.
5.

I suspect that I am not the only one who clicks on the first correct alternative, proceeding directly to the following question. Reply

Holly Texas December 16, 2024
in response to Yitzhak:

It gets me every time! (:
On a positive note… I’m learning to pay better attention to the details and not be so exuberant to answer the questions. Oy. /: Reply

10/10 I always read all the questions and answers from the first
to the last then I start with the first question Reply

Russ Sprinkle Lambertville December 8, 2024

Thank you so much, Rabbi! I love your quizzes. They really help me understand what I don’t know, and what I do know. I love reading all the comments too. What a wonderful community we have here. Thank you again! Reply

On Sabbath. Blessings and love to Yisrael. Reply

I enjoy answering quizzes. Thank you. Reply

Con su permiso,
No me quedo claro lo de jacod, sea primo segundo de laban,
Podia recomendar un artículo que me aclare un poco mi ignorancia.
Shalom Reply

Erika Germany December 6, 2024

someone "akin", someone on "a same" (spiritual) level, is not always good to be trusted. This Lavan is not as "white" as he pretends to be. Whom do you think he can be compared with?
Shalom from Erika Reply

Deborah Greene South Africa December 6, 2024

9/10..Thank you Rabbi will maybe do better nect time..The Heat here in Jhb is up to 33 degrees ..so we stay constantly in swimming pool now @10HO0o'clock in the morning.

in response to Patrick Corriveau:

For best results, I now need to learn Hebrew and maybe some Aramaic.
At 63, it's not easy to learn a new language, especially for a monolingual French speaker. Reply

I love the quizzes! Reply

Kristine Gate Surrey December 5, 2024

9/10 I can never get the family dynamics right :-) cousin, uncle, ...who can keep it straight Reply

Mark Corbin Mt. Healthy, OH December 5, 2024

8/10 - I missed the first and last questions. Thanks for the thought-provoking quizzes! Reply

Rachel Toole Texas December 5, 2024

9/10. Strangely the best I’ve ever done and I’m no fan of Laban. I do love the quizzes though! Reply

Jack Harpers Ferry December 5, 2024

Personally, I think it isn't fair to everyone else who wants to show how they scored and take the fact that we all need to learn a bit serously (but not too seriously). So now, we can only say "yes, we took the quiz" but not talk about what we did, and how well we made out. This is the first step in phasing this sort of activity out. This PC method really needs to stop. We're happy for people who score high on these quizzes, and we all empathize with people who score low - for whatever reason. Reply

10/10 A very Very Good trial Reply

Jim Krämer Pittsburgh, PA, USA December 5, 2024

9/10
Not too shabby, especially since Laban is not one of my favourite people in all of Scripture! He may have worn puffed sleeves: extra room to hide all his tricks that he pulled on Jacob, haha! Laban is remembered: not exactly for a blessing in my opinion! Reply

Rivka Rachum WEST ORANGE December 5, 2024

3/10!! I obviously didn't pay attention, probably because I didn't like Laban!
"He reported him to Interpol"-- LOL! Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Rabbi!
I share these quizzes every week with my best friend. She loves them, too... Reply

Jim Krämer Pittsburgh, PA, USA December 5, 2024
in response to Rivka Rachum:

Laban was an even bigger trickster than Jacob! Laban is not my favourite either—I even had an uncle who was a bit like Laban, and my Hebrew name is Yaacov! Rabbi Posner really comes up with great quizzes! It's wonderful that you and your friend share a love for learning Torah. Reply

Emese Oseni Whitby December 5, 2024
in response to Rivka Rachum:

Yep, I didn't do that great either, Rivka! I also need to pay closer attention as well. Reply

Jorge Bastrop Tx. December 5, 2024

8/10 Sholom and Blessings to Israel Reply
