I heard some people talking about a Seder meal. I Googled it and was led to Chabad.org. That was in 2018. I listen to Rabbi Gordon everyday for Torah study and Tanya. I am a Gentile pastor and will be in prayer for Israel. I enjoy learning about all of the Jewish festivals. I had 8 right on this quiz. [I am used to the English names.] I did purchase a Jewish Bible. I will do better next time. Reply

I know the story but of course it’s been a year since I read it so this cute quiz was a great way to get into the Purim mood and remind me before Megillah reading
Thank you :) Reply
