Parshat HaShavua

May 4, 2008
Filed under: Judaism, Life in Israel, Family

Apologies go out to the non-Jews, and non Hebrew speakers, but this one was too funny to miss…

We were reviewing the weekly Torah Portion and going over the questions for the week.

Q: What two fibers are forbidden to be combined?

Her A: צמר ופלישתים
(wool and Philistines)

(The correct answer is צמר ופשתן wool and linen)

I guess “plishtim” and “pishtan” are rather close.

A second best question was “Who is it forbidden to curse?”

Her A: A blind man (correct answer a deaf man–blind/deaf what is the difference?)
