6 out of ten. It looks like some of your other posters went to the same Talmud Torah I went to. ( In Brooklyn) Reply

Good Afternoon,

The wonderful thing about Torah is studying and learning. Its never banal, but it is endlessly intriguing, inspiring, enriching, and meaningful! "He who walks with one who is wise, grows wise . . ." Proverbs 13:20.

Thank you, Reply

I got 10 out of 10 right. I guessed right on Question #7. All the others I already knew because I had researched the topic in preparation for a speech I plan to give at some time in the future. Reply

Please note that the Pidyon-Haben has nothing to do with the slew of the first born in Egypt.
Kindly retract and reply.

Parshas Bo 13:15.

וַיְהִ֗י כִּֽי־הִקְשָׁ֣ה פַרְעֹה֘ לְשַׁלְּחֵ֒נוּ֒ וַיַּֽהֲרֹ֨ג יְהֹוָ֤ה כָּל־בְּכוֹר֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם מִבְּכֹ֥ר אָדָ֖ם וְעַד־בְּכ֣וֹר בְּהֵמָ֑ה עַל־כֵּן֩ אֲנִ֨י זֹבֵ֜חַ לַֽיהֹוָ֗ה כָּל־פֶּ֤טֶר רֶ֨חֶם֙ הַזְּכָרִ֔ים וְכָל־בְּכ֥וֹר בָּנַ֖י אֶפְדֶּֽה:

And it came to pass when Pharaoh was too stubborn to let us out, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore, I slaughter [for a sacrifice] all males that open the womb, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem. Reply
