Kudos to Kiruvwife for the idea.
Lets get started:
Out of all of the Pesukim in Tanach, only 24 have neither a Vav, nor a Yud.
Which one of the pesukim (without a Vav and without a Yud) appears the most?
March 6, 2009 2:26 pm at 2:26 pm #1106470Syag LechochmaMemberTrivia question #2 Where can you find a proof in the pesukim in Tanach that Klal Yisroel spoke their own language in Galus.
March 6, 2009 2:57 pm at 2:57 pm #1106471kiruvwifeMemberwow! Thanks so much JayMatt! Ok got to get thinking…….
March 6, 2009 3:27 pm at 3:27 pm #1106472anon for thisParticipantJayMatt, thanks for starting the thread. I have one objection, though. I understand why you chose the name “Tanach Trivia”, but it bothers me because nothing in Tanach is trivial. Would it be possible to rename the thread?
Both questions have me stumped.
March 6, 2009 3:29 pm at 3:29 pm #1106473kiruvwifeMemberName all the hints related to Purim in the Torah.
(I hope we’ll get some answers to all these questions–they’re good!)
March 6, 2009 3:52 pm at 3:52 pm #1106474feivelParticipantWhat a title?!
March 6, 2009 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm #1106476David S.MemberSyog Lechochma is it in Doniel?
March 6, 2009 4:20 pm at 4:20 pm #1106477squeakParticipantThank you feivel, I completely agree.
March 6, 2009 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #1106479moish01Memberames, you gotta know the answer before you post a question 😉
March 6, 2009 5:41 pm at 5:41 pm #1106480kiruvwifeMemberI’m not sure who makes the titles, but how about Torah Quiz-(this thread idea I took from one of “anon’s” questions on a previous thread.)
March 7, 2009 9:43 pm at 9:43 pm #1106481JayMatt19ParticipantStill Shabbos in NY, and more posts are coming onto the site…AND THE NAME OF THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN CHANGED!!
Which Mod? Where is that Mod?
Anyway kiruvwife asked: Name all the hints related to Purim in the Torah.
doing this without looking it up, so please go easy.
Esther: Anochi Haster astir panim
Mordechai: Mor Dror (one of the spices)
Haman: Ha Min Ha eitz
March 8, 2009 1:53 am at 1:53 am #1106484kiruvwifeMemberjaymatt-yes-those are the hunts I know of-not sure if there are others.
A couple more: Who killed more people on one day than in his whole life?
March 8, 2009 1:57 am at 1:57 am #1106485kiruvwifeMemberwoops-sent the post too quickly-
Who are the four people that died without any aveiros?
March 8, 2009 3:47 am at 3:47 am #1106486moish01Memberyishai
binyomin
amram
dovid’s son – forgot his name
March 8, 2009 3:52 am at 3:52 am #1106487moish01Memberkilav! i think that’s what his name was.
March 8, 2009 6:17 am at 6:17 am #1106489JayMatt19Participantc’mon. Nobody knows my opening question about the pessukim? Do I need to supply a hint.
By thw way, kiruvwife, “Who killed more people on one day than in his whole life?” this is a bad question. Anyone who killed just 1 person could have this apply to them. However, I do get what you are trying to ask, and the answer is “Shimshon”
March 8, 2009 6:40 am at 6:40 am #1106490aussieboyParticipantkiruvwife: pinchas? (i think thats his name. the one who they say might be eliyahu hanavi)
and who killed more people in one day then his whole life? shimshon when he destroyed that building
March 8, 2009 12:24 pm at 12:24 pm #1106492Syag LechochmaMemberDAvid S- I was not thinking of something in Daniel
March 8, 2009 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm #1106493kiruvwifeMembermoish01-impressive!
Jaymatt-yes, a hint please-and I’ll try to keep my questioning to fit a “nice” criteria.
aussie,and jaymatt-yes shimshon.
March 8, 2009 1:16 pm at 1:16 pm #1106494JayMatt19ParticipantAs for my initial question, here is the hint. There are 24 persukim in tanach without a Vav or a Yud. Which one out of the 24 appear the most (hint, it appears 12 times!)
March 8, 2009 2:05 pm at 2:05 pm #1106495kiruvwifeMemberWhat is another name for Divrei HaYomim?
jaymatt-i’m stumped!
March 8, 2009 2:34 pm at 2:34 pm #1106496JayMatt19Participantc’mon, Its too soon to give up. and it is definitely too soon for me to give the answer.
Think about the significance of the number 12
March 8, 2009 3:04 pm at 3:04 pm #1106497moish01Memberkiruv, aren’t there two divrei hayomims? or did i just make that up?
March 8, 2009 3:27 pm at 3:27 pm #1106499aussieboyParticipantjaymatt19: what is signafagant about the number 12? the only thing i can think of is 12 months in a year
kiruvwife and moish01: what are/is divrei hayomim?
March 8, 2009 3:32 pm at 3:32 pm #1106500moish01Memberanyone know the name of shimshon’s mother? (the pussuk says “aishes manoach”)
March 8, 2009 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm #1106501moish01Member12 shvotim.

March 8, 2009 4:15 pm at 4:15 pm #1106502kiruvwifeMembershimshons mother was Tzlalponis.
Anyone know Avrohom Avinus mother’s name?
JM-hmmm 12-well there’s the shevatim, months of the year, shelves on the shulchan….am I getting close?
March 8, 2009 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm #1106503JayMatt19ParticipantAvraham Avinu’s Mother: Amtla-ah bas Karivo.
What were the names of Moshe Rabbeinu’s maternal half brothers?
March 8, 2009 7:30 pm at 7:30 pm #1106504ChachamParticipantI guess we all learned that gemarah in Hamocher es hasphinah
March 8, 2009 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm #1106505kiruvwifeMemberJM19–was it Amaslai bas Karnivo or am I mispronouncing it?

Moish, I think you’re on to something. Those p’sukim repeat themselves 12 times.

March 8, 2009 10:18 pm at 10:18 pm #1106512moish01Memberha! like i said – enjoy the work and the glory. it’s all yours 😉
March 8, 2009 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm #1106514YW Moderator-39MemberAre you suggesting I stop Moding now so I can do YOUR dirty work?
March 8, 2009 10:21 pm at 10:21 pm #1106515moish01Memberok, so don’t. i don’t really care. i mean, if i know something i’ll put it in, but i’m not about to look up the answer for anything around here.
i guess you don’t know me yet 😉

March 9, 2009 7:51 pm at 7:51 pm #1106523moish01Memberi knew that! my brother’s bar mitzva parsha… of course i knew that by heart…
March 9, 2009 9:10 pm at 9:10 pm #1106525anon for thisParticipantkiruvwife, the generations are listed at the end of megilas rus, but I don’t know them offhand.
March 9, 2009 10:29 pm at 10:29 pm #1106526aussieboyParticipantkiruvwife: im going to go with 10. (whenever the torah lists generations it often seems to list ten)
March 9, 2009 10:44 pm at 10:44 pm #1106527moish01Memberaussieboy, that sounds about right. i say there are another one or two more than that.
March 9, 2009 10:45 pm at 10:45 pm #1106528JayMatt19Participant11 generations from yehuda to david
