3/11 You guys are teaching me so much about judaism and I didn't know anything about Chabad history. It's a real shame!
Anyway, I promise to improve my knowledge.
Love and Respect! Reply

in response to Георги Янкулов:

Why is it a shame not to know chabad history there are also other group of people that we don't know their history Reply

Sandra Wright Arizona January 25, 2024
in response to Chaim Schnitzer:

I respectfully offer that it is a shame to not know as much history as we can absorb, as history is the key to our future. As for the Chabad movement, I believe that it is the most orthodox of ALL people that carry on important traditions and teachings. It takes great faith and courage to stand out supporting religion today in this world. I would ad that my visit to Borough Park in the 80s made a lasting impression on my life and on my faith. I absolutely loved it! To be in such an environment! Reply

6/11. Not bad, since I guessed at all of them! I'm not Chassidic, and
most of the names mean nothing to me. But I do love to do these quizzes! Reply
