JUDAICA QUIZ

RABBI DAVID FREEDMAN

How much do you know about the history of our Holy Land? How much do you know about topics as diverse as astronomy, culture or wise sayings from our prophets? And when it comes to sport, how much do you know about Jewish Olympians or soccer? Yes, Rabbi David Freedman, like so many within our community, has the FIFA Women’s World Cup on his mind.
