The previous tanach trivia thread has mysteriously disappeared from the CR, so I’m starting a new one. What is another name for Mordechai? Post your answers here as well as any other tanach trivia you might have.
Psachyah (Yerushalm).
What about another name for Hasuch, and why (2) ?
Daniel
Doniel, but I can’t remember why.
Logician: Asking a Mefurash Gemara in Megillah on Erev Purim?
Yes, for some reason people I know get confused with it.
Where is the source for “Doniel” ?
Oh was I confused !
I mixed up the order, and thought everyone was answering the OP, not me!
Ok, a little harder – what is another name in the megilah some identify as Daniel ?
And from the same source – who was Charvonah ?
Memuchan = Daniel (haman and Daniel equal to 95 that is why his name was changed to memuchan not to associate tzaddik and rasha ,Meom Loez),Charvonah = Eliyahu Hanavi.
Purim Torah: What is the happiest DAY of the year, what is the saddest DAY of the year, and what is the source?
If you heard it elsewhere, please don’t say— wait for someone to figure it out.
How old was Esther when taken to the king ?
The happiest day is the last day of Tammuz and the saddest is the last day of Shvat.
Can anyone guess why?
longarekel – va’yavor mordechai.
writersoul – guess you never stop being marbeh and mimaet.
longarekel: It’s Purim Torah. I explicitly stated that at first. And who says that it stops? (Yes, I mean it is common sense, but don’t destruct my logic!)
Now, for some Pesach Torah: Who was the first PERSON to perform the mitzvah of vehigadeta lebincha bayom hahu and why him/her?
If you’ve heard it, wait for people to try on their own.
I stumped my whole family with this one last seder night.
longarekel: I’m going to take that as a bracha. AMEIN!!!
And you’re on the right track, but I mean PERFORMING the mitzvah— and there’s a very specific reason why. You’ll be kicking yourself—I know I was when I was first told the answer. It’s not a trick— it’s extremely logical.
Hint: You don’t need to retell the story for newborn babies.
That was a HUGE hint, by the way. Just let your thoughts wander.
I’d better start thinking up some Shavuos Torah…
I would guess Avraham sine we know he kept Pesach from the ????? that he made and the hint about newborn babies was referring to Yitzchak’s birth on Pesach. I would like to know if I got it right.
