Don’t understand why some people hate, I guess it makes them feel better when they tear others down. Hate should be reserved for those who try to undermine our natural God given rights. Vito 1 year ago 9/10 – Missed the 1st president, guess I remembered more of what I read in the Bible than what I thought. The miracle WAS how long the oil lasted. Miracles didn’t only happen in the New Testament. Pray for Israel (hostages, people, leaders, IDF, IAF). God Bless America & may we stand strong with Israel. Dianne 1 year ago 6/10 did better than I thought I would Broccoli Free Zone 1 year ago 5/10 Just studied the Dreidel, and still got it WRONG. So much for memory. Hot Dawg 1 year ago Had to use my “call a Jewish friend” lifeline. Kreu 1 year ago 8 of 10. Almost selected 7 branches on Q#4 until I noticed the background picture and could see 9 branches. Not too shabby for me. Elise 1 year ago 9/10 Enjoy your weekend! lilly 1 year ago 6/10 ROBERT 11 months ago 7 of 10. I guessed a couple, but I should have known 2 of the 3, that I got incorrect. I just impulse answered instead of thinking them through. karen3.0 1 year ago 3/10, dont know a whole lot about it but could learn more! T. Anderson 1 year ago 6 of 10…all guesses. Beloved 1 year ago Jewish people are alright. It’s whoever that is referred to in Rev 2:9 and 3:9 that need to be addressed (and are not really Jewish). God help us all. Bob W 1 year ago 7/10 For years I thought my family was Jewish because my fathers parents fled Germany after WW1, my fathers sister, my Aunt, lived a Jewish life, and my fathers parents had money until the stock crash of 1929. An Ancestry. com search gave no answers. I was born in 1954. Ron 1 year ago Well, I did better than I thought I would – 6/10. Without guessing on any of those six, either. The rest were (bad) guesses. Danm 1 year ago 5/10 not bad.. Melinda 1 year ago I know very little about the Jewish faith. 7/10 right was due to easy guesses and deduction. Now I know a bit more. BobA 1 year ago I always thought the menorah had eight branches since the ninth was the shamash. The eight symbolize the time the oil lasted in the temple. Rich D 1 year ago 9/10 Pretty good. Loretta 1 year ago 8 of 10. Happy to know I remember the ancient history I learned in 4th grade. Is it taught in our schools today? l think not! Fredrick 1 year ago 5/10 and three of the five were guesses. Mary Annie 1 year ago 5 out of 10 for me. Learned a lot this week but my score doesn’t show it.

John Bass 1 year ago 9/10 Not too shabby. All were what I would consider common sense guesses, or just plain luck. T Smith 1 year ago The irony here is that there was no miracle.
