Yes, but shouldn't both show up in the answer? Or similar to the two main ethnic groups, have two answers?

"Priest" should be accepted as a correct answer, since that is the meaning of the Hebrew word Kohen. But the clue should be changed, since not all direct descendants of Aaron are kohanim, only the patrilinear ones (sons of sons etc). Only have priestly status and were allowed to conduct sacrifices in the Jerusalem Temple.

Good quiz. I would have sworn that Abraham was the first person circumcised.

Cappa1 -- you are right and the quiz is incorrect. See Genesis 17, particular Genesis 17:9-14 and 17:23-27. Isaac has not even been born at this point, and Abraham is circumcised as is Ishmael and all the males in Abraham's household. Isaac was not the first to be circumcised. However, in Genesis 17:19, Isaac will be the one with whom G-d will establish the covenant. So perhaps the question could be tweaked slightly in line with that. But clearly these circumcisions took place before Isaac was even born.

I'm confused by your comment; isn't that like saying you're a carnivorous vegetarian? I was raised Catholic but have long since been an atheist and I would NEVER call myself a Catholic atheist! What's the point of being an atheist if you still call yourself Jewish? Please enlighten me...

Jewish is an ethnicity as well as a religion and has been for a very long time. There are many atheist or secular/non-practicing Jews.

I would call it a nation (how it is used in the Tanakh), not an ethnicity, a group of people who share the same lineage. An ethnicity refers more so to people from the same region while Jews are scattered across the world. A better example of an ethnicity might be Bukharians, a specific group of Jews from the southern Soviet area. Also, I believe that just because you are Jewish does not make you a Jew and this is where the English language cannot catch up with the evolution of the Jewish people. The way I see it, you can be Jewish by associating yourself with the nation and adopt its culture and some social norms but being a Jew prioritizes one's relationship with G-d, a dying aspect many possess in modern Judaism.

Yeah I'm scared that secularization is gonna wipe out modern Judaism. I went to a friend's bar mitzvah, and during the fourth Aliyah, they changed the verse to be about civil rights instead of, ya' know, the Torah.

I think that without that secularization Judaism would have already died out long ago. Or... maybe there would be a handful of tiny ultra-insular communities here and there or ultra orthodox Jews, at best.

Could you except Pesach/Pesakh for Passover? It's the Hebrew name. You also have Hebrew words for priest (kohen) and new year (rosh hashanah) in it.

there should really be more jewish languages added to this: yiddish, ladino, judeo-arabic, etc. are also languages unique to the jewish people... and technically other languages not unique to jews could be considered "languages of judaism", most n. american synagogues are in english and they guide the judaism of the synagogue members. if you mean the language of the torah you should say "language of the torah"... or just delete the question.

It always seemed a stretch to call a Seder a feast unless they chow down on snacks in the living room afterwards.

Our seders are always feasts. Matzo, charoset, gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, brisket and/or roasted chicken, potatoes, vegetables, wine (not just Manischewitz or Mogen David), flourless chocolate cake, macaroons, and more. I eat too much every year.

A few things.

Please accept "Cohain" or "Cohein" or "Cohen" as a type in for Kohen.

Two main ethnic groups of Jews? There are equally as many Mizrahi Jews as compared to Sephardi Jews, if not more.

Also, for coming of age ceremony, Bar Mitzvah is the masculine version. Females have a Bat Mitzvah. B'nei Mitzvah would be more correct in a term for the occasion.

but mizrahi is a lot more modern and also very vague, sephardi dates back to the middle ages and maybe even before. Historically it makes more sense to have sephardi than it does mizrahi imo

This is a great quiz, but you should add the original names - Abram, Yitzchak, Israel/Yisrael, Moshe, and Eliyahu. Also, you should add a "rabbi" question. Also, you should except Pesach, because it is the real name of Passover. Furthermore, there is a seder on Sukkot, too. There is also a cup of Miriam at a traditional seder. Hebrew is the language of Israel, not Judasm. And please, lastly, yet most importantly, change 'Bar Mitzvah' to 'B'nei Mitzvah. There are non-binary and trans-gender people who might feel offended otherwise.
