I got 9 out of 10 correct. I got the first question wrong. I had no idea what symbol was on the head stones of Leviim. I knew the answers to some of the other question, but some of them I guessed. Reply

I only scored a 7/10. One question I got wrong was the one about the menorah. I answered six instead of seven, only because I neglected to take into account the central, vertical branch. The rising sun one is also one that I had no idea about, so I simply guessed the wrong answer. And finally, my third mistake was the one about the lulav and etrog. I did not know the answer to that one either, but guessed it to be the three matzahs, figuring that generally speaking, Passover is a more popular Jewish holiday than is Sukkot Reply

in response to Raymond :

Regarding the Menorah. Technically you are right. The term Menorah refers to the middle stem only. The 'kanim' are the branches so the verse instructs us to make a Menorah with three branches on one side and three on the other. Reply
