10/13! Amazing! Who knows more about Purim than me? 😁 Reply

Angela Wilder Brooklyn March 4, 2025

11/18 thank you happy purim Reply

Dinah February 28, 2021

I just get blown away by the artwork. Is this the art of Sefira Ross? I so enjoy her artwork. She never runs out of ideas to go along with the article. But lately, I do not see the name of the artist noted below the article or art as it used to be.

Hey Sefira!!! Great work! It is appreciated. Blessings on you and the wonderful talent G-d has given you. May you make art that is Torah-related for many, many years to come and may it always be shared with us. Amen Reply

I always heard in my 60 yrs that Mordechai was Esthers Uncle, not cousin Reply

Toda Rabbi, I scored 10/13 I know that is a good pass mark. But I thought They were uncle and niece...? Reply

That was fun, even though I got three wrong! One I read wrong, and two I had no idea. Please do quizzes with every holiday, if you haven't already! Reply

Malek February 26, 2021

I am glad that I have got 10/13. Not bad for the person who is not a Jew. -- Happy Purim Reply

Eric Steger Sunnyvale February 26, 2021

A freilechen Purim to you, Rabbi Posner! I got 11/13 this time, but I'm going to hear the Megillah tomorrow morning and pick up the spare. I'm also going to thrash Haman a second time. Reply
