Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the Yiddish name for the skullcap that religious Jewish males wear?

Answer: Yarmulke

Kipa is the Hebrew word for it. A Shtreimel and spodek are two kinds of fur 'hats' that various chasidim wear.

2. Who started Chasidus (Hasidism)?

Answer: Rabbi Yisrael Baal Shem Tov

He was called the 'Baal Shem Tov' (or Besht in its acronym form) which means 'Master of the Good Name'.

3. Which of the following days can the first day of Rosh Hashana NOT be on?

Answer: none

9. How many different kinds of 'leaves' are taken by Jews as an observance of the holiday of Sukos (i.e. the 'Arba Minim')?

Answer: 3

This was another trick. There are four species taken, but only three of them are 'leaves'. There is the lulav (palm frond), hadas (myrtle), aravah (type of willow), and the esrog (citron), a lemon like fruit but definitely not a 'leaf'. Collectively, they are the 'Arbah Minim' or the 'Four Kinds'.

10. How many scrolls of parchment are there in a pair of tefilin (phylacteries)?

Answer: 5

There are four in the 'shel rosh' and one in the 'shel yad' making five.
