Yulanda Toronto ON May 22, 2025

6/10 I was baffled by some of the questions! I just didn't know the answers! I really appreciate these quizzes! better luck next time! Shalom. Reply

Avner Licea May 20, 2025

Nine out of ten!!!! Reply

Jack Harpers Ferry May 20, 2025

I thought that fruit trees were to be left for 5 years... And I mentally switched mitzvot with halachah for covering blood... Otherwise, I'm ok with my score. First time I've thought of these mitzvot that tend to be off the main path of my mind... Reply

Enjoyed it but try to send always the update. 9/10 Reply

10/10. Not bad for a goyum. They didn’t seem obscure to me. Reply

Cameron McCreary Granite Bay May 16, 2025

Nice, I got 10 out of 10 right; l haven't seen that in a couple of years. Every question brought up the image of where in the Old Testament it could be found. Reply

Shifra Alaska May 16, 2025

10/10 I expected this to be hard but it was easy...I didn't think these mitzvot were all that obscure. Love all your quizzes. Thank You!! Reply

Axel Berger Köln-Ossendorf May 15, 2025

This Noahide goy would never have expected to do well in this one. The full ten of ten came as a total surprise. Must be your good teaching, thank you Rabbi Posner. Reply

Ari PNW May 15, 2025

Yay 9/10!! I love knowing random trivia so this makes sense. Reply

OY!... 7/10!
Back to the books, for me! Reply

Raymond West Hollywood May 15, 2025

wow, I scored 9/10, which actually surprises me in a good way as this particular time I thought I would do much worse, due to the theme of the quiz. The one question I got wrong was the one about years and fruits. i thought it was six years, but apparently one must wait only three years. In retrospect, I probably could have gotten that one right, too, if only I had not been unnecessarily rushing my answer Reply

Chaya Brooklyn May 15, 2025

Enjoyed it! Reply

10 of 10 yes Reply

Noahide still learning,
Thank you for the quiz ☺️☺️🌈🌈 Reply
