SPEAKER_02:

Hey kids, welcome back to the next episode of the Incredible Kids Podcast. My name is Laura Seary, and I will be your host through this incredible journey. We are going to meet many incredible kids. They are going to share with us their stories. Some of them super cool and different like you've never heard before. Some may say are just ordinary, but all of them incredible. If you have great ideas, email me today at iKidspodcast at female.com. And now it's time for Incredible K! Hi everybody and welcome back to another exciting episode of Incredible Kids Success Trivia. This is our third year that we are playing this trivia game along with so many other families, and I encourage all of you to play along with us. You're gonna hear a recording of our live game show here in the Incredible Kids studio, and you have the opportunity to play along with us for prizes while you're listening. Okay, actually, something really interesting that came up when we were making this episode is that one of the last steps is making sure that all of the graphic design work for the beautiful art that you see on each podcast cover is ready to go when the episode goes live. And so I asked my graphic designer if he can make the title say succus trivia. He sent it back to me and I looked at it once and I looked at it twice and I'm like, I don't know, is succus spelled like that? S U C C O S? Two C's or is it S-U-K-K-O-S? You know, like Sucus. Is it two C's or two Ks in the middle? I was like, I feel like it's really two Ks. So I looked up in different places and I saw, sure enough, yeah, lots of places spell succus like that. Sukkus spelled that way in a lot of places, succus is spelled that way. Sukkot is in with two Ks. So I said to him, if you don't mind, do you mind please switching the spelling to S-U-K-K-O-S? Because I think you made a mistake. And he said, Okay, sure, but I have a feeling it's with two C's. I said, Really? He said, Yeah, look, I just saw this on a WhatsApp status. Somebody had two C's. I said, Oh, you're right. But then it's weird because then in the same flyer, they wrote it with two K's. So everybody's mixed up. So he said, Let's get to the bottom of this. He decided to ask ChatGPT, and this is really funny. So if you guys know anything about ChatGPT, Chat GPT is um, you know, like a robot, but they seem to just know everything because they just know everything. So we asked ChatGPT, how is it what is the correct spelling for the yantif of succus? And so this is what they said. They said such with two k's is the more accurate way to write it if you're writing it straight from the Hebrew, since the word has a kuf sound, so the k is like a stronger with the k's. And it says it's preferred by most modern Orthodox and academic sources. It's used by Art School, the O U H Chabad.org, etc. And then it says succis with two Cs, S-U-C-C-O-S, is the older Yeshivish slash Yiddish influence spelling from pre-standardized transliterations. That means like before they like cared about the spelling, I guess. Um, not really sure. Common in older English sparim and some Kharidi publications, and it's still widely used in certain communities. This is the funny part, especially in Lakewood, Muncy, and Satmar circles. How hilarious that ChatGPT gives out information like that. And who knows if that's even true. I'm like, you know what, just keep it. Keep it at S-U-C-C-O-S. It's such it's obviously interchangeable, and you can't go wrong either way. But however you spell Sukhus, we are so excited to play Sukhus trivia. For this year's game show, our prizes are seriously awesome. After everybody's scores come in, we draw a raffle right after Yunziff to choose the winner of a comic book donated by Tora Treasures, two different engaging Parsha books from Mosaica Press, one of them called the Ultimate Parsha Challenge, and the other one, Let me ask you a question, going to two different winners. An anonymous donor donated$50 gift card to Amazon. And then for the grand prize, our friends at Naki Audio are giving one lucky winner the very cool Naki Bolt, which is a really cool listening device for all Jewish content, plus six months of free Naki Audio membership. That's pretty cool. Thank you once again to our sponsors at Torah Treasures, Mosaica Press, our anonymous sponsor, and Naki Audio for making this game even more fun by incentivizing us to play for prizes. So today on the show, we welcome our new contestants. And without further ado, let's begin. You make sure to get out a paper and pen and your team spirit. Testing, tasting, one, two, three. Everyone hears me well? Yeah. Welcome, contestants of this year's Sukis Trivia Game. We have the Price Girls and the Weiss Girls. So Price versus Weiss, but we're gonna give ourselves more original names in a couple minutes. First, let's meet our contestants today. So let's let our guests come first. Could you introduce yourself to the listeners?

SPEAKER_01:

Hi, my name is Chabalaya and I'm 13 years old. Hi, Chabalea. Welcome to Incredible Kids.

SPEAKER_00:

Hi, my name is Esther, and I'm seven years old.

SPEAKER_02:

Yay, okay, Khabalaya and Esther. Welcome to the game show today. What grades are you guys in? I'm in eighth grade and she's in second grade. Where do you guys live? Mention, New York. Okay, so on our other team today, we have the Price Girls. Can you introduce yourselves?

SPEAKER_01:

Hi, my name is Devorah Price and I'm 11. Hi, my name is Zahova and I'm nine. Hi, nice to meet you guys. Where do you live? Um we live in Argentina.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, that was my Devorah trying to think of something original.

SPEAKER_00:

I almost forgot my age.

SPEAKER_02:

You're nervous?

SPEAKER_00:

No.

SPEAKER_02:

Is this your first time doing this?

SPEAKER_00:

So funny.

SPEAKER_02:

Not really, right? But still, every time we do a live recording, it's different. Devorah is in what grade? Sixth. And fourth. Good. Who was in fourth? So we have today a second grader, a fourth grader, a sixth grader, and an eighth grader represented in this trivia game over here. You know the cheer two, four, six, eight. Who do we appreciate? The bus driver, the bus driver. That's what it is. Two, four, six, eight. Okay, I'm gonna say two, four, six, eight, and you raise your hand, even though no one could see us. That's just fun. Two, four, six. What's with the thumbs down? Eight.

SPEAKER_00:

She doesn't like sixth grade.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, good. That's the school spirit. I like that. Okay, well, today we're here to compete in a challenge, and we're gonna see how prepared you are for sukus. So at this point, you probably learned a little bit about success in school, and you know from the years of knowledge. And let's see how well you know the answers to these questions. But also remember that if some of the answers are difficult, it's okay. Like there's always more to learn. We're gonna make it up. You'll make it up, you'll have fun, and you'll hopefully learn something new. And of course, I put ones in that are gonna be super easy, and I put some in that are gonna be super hard, and hopefully a lot in between. So we're gonna have a lot of fun today. But if you're listening along with us, you should be playing with us as well because I'm going to ask a question and you are gonna be writing down the answers. So I'll say question number one, and everybody's gonna answer question number one on their paper. You're gonna hear a little bit of music while the teams are thinking of answers with us live, and also you guys, wherever you're playing this, whether it's in your suka, in your car, on the way to a trip or something, going on traveling for Yantif or on Holomoid or at home, sitting around the table, wherever you're playing this, you're gonna keep track of all of your answers, also keeping track of your scores. And at the very end, you're gonna submit your scores on incrediblekids.org. Once you submit your scores and your team names, you could be entered into the grand raffle to win incredible prizes. You don't want to miss out. Every time we do this, we have thousands of families who join us. It is so cool to know that there are so many people playing this game along with you. You can be driving down the Garden State Parkway, and someone in the next car could be doing it as well. So, what I'm gonna tell you guys to do, prices and wise is I want you to take a blank piece of paper. You're all revered. Excellent. You can either both take turns or writing things down, or you can designate one person to do it. It's up to you guys how you want to do that, and number it from one to ten for round one, and then one, and then again, um, eleven do we do in the past 11 to 20 or 1 to 10 again? I think 11 to 20. 1 to 10. I don't know. One to 10 again? It doesn't matter. It doesn't really matter. You're right. And let's play the game. So the first thing I want you guys to do after you do that is come up with a really good team name that has something to do with the holiday of Stuckas. And for the people who are playing along with us, you should also be coming up with a team name. Okay, Weisses. What is your team name? The La Lovely Sisters. That's really creative. I love it. Lou Lovely Sisters. You did a play on words to include a Lulove. Lou Lovely Sisters. You are pretty lovely sisters, so I guess Lou Lovely Sisters is just a natural thing for you guys. So cute. Okay, Prices. What about you? The Success Smackers. She made it up. I'm into it. The Sucus Smackers. It's definitely a name that smacks. Ah, no smacking on the show. So without further ado, we're gonna start with question number one. I'm gonna say the question two times. I'll try to say it clearly and slowly, and then you're gonna hear some music. And while you hear the music, it's your chance to discuss the answers with your team because you're all playing on the same team. Ready? Here it goes. Question number one. Suka starts on blink tisre. Once again, suckis starts on blink tisre. Alright, we're gonna start with the such smackers.

SPEAKER_01:

We don't really know it, so we're just guessing. Who you wanna say it? I feel like it's Olive though. It's not Olive. Yud Olive Tishre. We just made it up.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, sounds like it. We're gonna go over to the other team, Lou Lovely Sisters. Um, Tesvav Tishre. If it would be Yud Olive Tishre, then it would be the day after Umkipper. Success comes every year, and now you know that Tesvav Tishre, the 15th day of Tishre, is the first day. If you got that right, give yourself one point. Question number two. On Hoshanarabbah, we circle the Bimah how many times? On Hoshana Rabbah, the men and shool who are making circles around the bhima make how many circles? How many times do they go around? Okay, Lou Lovely Sisters. Um, eight times. Okay, let's go over to the sukkus smackers. Seven because it's like a collar. Seven times. You got it correct. Right? It is seven. If you got seven, give yourself one point on Hoshanaraba, which by the way is a very holy day. People think it's part of Halomoid, but really it's its own special day. It comes right before the second day is when Shminyatzara starts. Hoshana Rabbah is a special thing to learn a lot of Torah, then to stay up the whole night learning, even. And it's a holy time for Tefila. It's like really, really important. Question number three. This is going to be true or false. Either this is the right thing or the totally made up thing. True or false. You can sleep under a thick blanket pulled over your head in the sukah, even if it creates a tent that separates you from the shah. True or false. You can sleep under a thick blanket pulled over your head in the sukkah, creating like a tent around yourself, even if it creates a tent that separates you from the shah. And it would still be considered a sukkah. You're still in the sukah. Sucka smackers, whatcha got? True. Lovely sisters, whatcha got? No. False? Yeah. It is true. Even if you have a thick blanket over your head, it's not considered a problem to be in the sukkah under a heavy, thick blanket. You're still getting the mitzvah of being in the sukkah. Do you know anyone who sleeps in the sukkah? Yes. No. Yeah, anybody. Oh, probably my cousins, I don't know. Probably your cousins? Some people have a minha to sleep on the sukkah like all the time, unless it's like bad weather. And some people wake up rained on. Question number four. Name two common things many people avoid on holomoid because they're like doing work unless it's necessary. Name two things that people avoid on holomoid because it's like work. We're not supposed to do work type of things on holomoid. You could do mukta. There are certain activities that you should try not doing. Okay, Lou Lovely Sisters. Do you have one? We only have one.

SPEAKER_01:

Building? Building what? I don't know. Anything. Like a Lego?

SPEAKER_02:

Not like building with like magnet tiles. Okay, you could for sure do that, right? You mean like building a house? Yeah, or like working on the computer. Okay. You just said two different things. Building would be like a serious construction project. I guess uh. Yeah. That's something that you're not supposed to be doing. A heavy repair would also be an example, like like a real like job, you know, reconstructing the wall in your in your house. Not like changing a light bulb, you know what I'm saying? Like a real building project. You should avoid unholomoid for sure. What about you guys, other team? Do you have any? So we did writing. Laundry. Laundry.

SPEAKER_00:

I also said cleaning, like a cleaning lady.

SPEAKER_02:

You can clean. Yeah, I think you can clean. So writing. So laundry was a good one. Sewing would be another good option. You're not supposed to sew. And business work. So you guys kind of Weiss has kind of said that before. Like business work-related things should be kept to a minimum, really should be avoided, meaning we should try not to do that. And like you said, writing and those kind of things. If we have to write for this game, writing because you're doing something, you know, obviously we're doing this before success, but for people who are listening, you're able to write the answers to the game. But some people, if they have to write for work or whatever, then they would write with a shinoi, like they would do something different. But those are some of the things that you should avoid doing. If you got two different things correct, you can give yourself a point for each one. Question number five. On succus, lots of families have little cute things that they do to make the sukkah cozy. We're supposed to enjoy being in the sukkah. So people have like, I don't want to call it a minhug because it's not a real minhug. Like it's not like something brought down from a rabbi or generational or whatever. But it's just like these cute things that families do in their sukkah from year to year. List as many cozy add-ons, we'll call them, as you can think of that people bring into their sukkah to make it comfy. Things that you'll actually use while you're in the sukkah makes you want to stay in the sukkah. So I'll say it one more time. List as many cozy add-ons that you can think of that people bring into the sukah to make it comfy and cozy, that they will use over sukkas to make their enjoyment of Yantif even better. As many as you can think of. It could be you do it in your family, or it could be that you know someone else who does it, or no one that does it, but it's a great idea. Maybe you'll do it now. Okay, ready? Let's start with Lou Lovely Sisters. What do you have? Okay. Um, so we have a swing. You guys have a swing? Like a swing with like a pillow on the bottom.

SPEAKER_01:

One of those like egg chair type of swings? No, no. Like a silk kinda. Like a swinging bench? No, no, no. It's connected to the top. Okay. And there's like fabric on the side. Then there's a pillow on the bottom.

SPEAKER_02:

Like a swing that's connected to one of the beams on top? Yeah. Wow. That's so cool. And it stays up and it doesn't like fall down? Uh it might fall down this year. Okay. Did it ever fall before? We only did it last year, but we're also doing it this year. That's the cutest thing ever. I love that. Okay, so women, you said a swing. That's amazing. Blanket. A heater.

SPEAKER_01:

A warm drink. Mm-hmm. Or like an indoor sukkah. Like a sukkah inside your suka. No, like inside your house. I don't know. It's heat in it.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, but I don't know if that's counted because it's not in your sukkah.

SPEAKER_01:

Also, that's not a real sukkah if it's inside your house. No, the roof opens and you put I saw that in Muncie before. Yeah. That's how I knew it. Maybe it was their house.

SPEAKER_02:

No, we don't have it. Oh. Well, if it's something that you can bring into your sukkah, then it could be considered an answer. Okay, what about you guys? Couches.

SPEAKER_01:

Because we put our couch in. Bean bag chairs. Blankets, pillows, heaters, fans, cots, lights, hot water. Besides candy and decorations, which does not make it cozy. Candy does.

SPEAKER_02:

What? Okay, so anything that you think is in the cozy category, you can give yourself a half a point for each one. Okay? This is where I like to make things complicated. So if you let's say you got three, then you would give yourself a half and a half and a half, is there's one and a half points. If you got five, you would do a half and a half and a half and a half and a half, which is two and a half. Um, two and a half. There's so much of it I really like that swing idea, by the way. I'm into it. I think we need a little bit of a bigger suka. Otherwise, we'll be swinging into someone's head. Did you guys make the swing? No, we bought it in Aldi. You bought the swing in Aldi. Like, you know, there's like an aisle of like random stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's a really uh dangerous aisle for me.

SPEAKER_01:

I kind of want that for my room. Yeah, you have to find a support beam in the ceiling. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02:

You have swings in both your rooms?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, it's a swinging.

SPEAKER_02:

So you're like a swinging family.

SPEAKER_01:

You attach it to the ceiling. Yeah. Is your family like very into swinging? Um, no, we just got off for like a honka present. No, for our birthday. She got it for her birthday.

SPEAKER_02:

I got it for like various presents. Sounds like you got swings for various occasions. So fun. Swinging is the best.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. We also have a lot of couches, but we used to bring into a suka until we found the swings. Wait, you have more than one swing in the sookah? We have two of them. Also a carpet floor.

SPEAKER_02:

You can bring it in. That's another one. So many things you can do. Oh, and if you store it well from year to year, then it's worth it to get these things because you'll use it, you'll take it out, you know, and you have the full succus to enjoy it. Question number six. This is another true or false. I'm gonna say a statement and you're gonna decide if this is true or false. On the first night of succus, if it's lightly sprinkling, but you're comfortable and you're happy, you should continue your meal in the succa. On the first night of succus, if it's lightly raining, just very light, little tiny drizzle sprinkle, and you're very comfortable and happy, you should continue your meal in the sucka. True or false? Smackers, yes? What's your answer? True, yes. Alright, and what about you guys? True. The Torah is pleasant, and Hashem gave us a Torah. He wants us to love being a Jew. There's a pasta. The ways of the Torah are pleasant. And so if it's pouring rain in your sukkkah on your head, you're supposed to go inside, right? You're not supposed to make yourself into like a cuckoo person and say, I'm gonna survive a hurricane to eat in the sukkka. Hashem wants things to be pleasant for you, especially on Yanzif. Okay, question number seven. It's Shabbos during sukkus. Do we shake the Lulavan Astrog on Shabbos? It's gonna be Shabbos at some point during sukkus. Do we shake the Lula van Asrogue on Shabbos? Lou lovely girls. No God, resounding no all around. We are not shaking Lulavanasrog on Shabbos, but we have a lot of other opportunities to shake the Lulavanasrog and get that mitzvah. Question number eight. Outside of Eret Israel, so if you're not in the land of Israel, on which day of this Yantif do we say Yizkur? Before I say it again, I'm gonna say what it is. Yizer is a special tefila that is said in every shul at one point over yantif, and it's to remember people's family members who have passed away. So somebody would say the special tevila vizgir if they had a parent who passed away. It's like only for close family members. If you go to shool, there's gonna be one part of Davening that it's gonna be yizkar. The word yizgur means to remember. If somebody does not say the tvila vizgir, bar hasham, because they didn't lose a close family member, they would leave the shool just for that part, kind of like stand in the hallway or outside, like a 10-minute time where there's this yizkar going on. So my question is over the whole Sokasyan diffs, all the way through, and if you're not an Artis Ral, so in America or London or Australia or Mexico, which day would the shool say yisker? Just to give you a quick outline, Sukis is seven days long, and then comes Shminy Attaras, and then comes some chastora. So on the day before Shminy Attaras. Hoshanaraba?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, that's your guess? No, no, no, the day before Hashan Raba. So, like Colomoid, the sixth day of Sukhis?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

What about the price girls? Your guess is the first day of Sukhis, and you're both wrong. The answer is Shmini Atsaras. Shmini Atsaras. It's the east day of the holiday. It's after Sucas is finished, or Shmini Atsaras. That's when she'll say, yes, girl. Question number nine. Right after we finish Parshas Vizos Habracha and Simchas Torah, which Parsha do we begin immediately? Right after we finish reading from the Torah, Parshas Vizos Habracha and Simchas Torah, which is the last parsha in the Torah, which Parsha do we begin immediately? Okay, so got Boracious. Lou lovely sisters, whatcha got? They start it right away. They read the whole first aliyah of Baratius and Shool. After all of the Hakafos are finished in the daytime, they do Kriya Sa Torah for the whole shool. And everyone splits up and gets like a ton of aliyas to the Torah. And then they start reading, say, for Baratius. As they go through the days of creation, the whole shool says, I don't know what I'm saying. Either way, it's very cool and it's very beautiful thing. And some people just leave shool right after Hakavos, but it's really an amazing experience if you stick around a little bit longer to stay for that part. You guys are old enough to enjoy that. So, like, see that in real life. Question number 10. This is the last question in round one. The sukkah reminds us of the Jewish people traveling in the midbar. What did Hashem send them to eat every morning? The sukkah reminds us of the Jews traveling in the midbar in the desert many years ago when they left Metraim. What did Hashem send the Jews to eat in the morning? Okay, Lou Lovely Sisters. The mun. Hook a smackers. The man. I would say grow man. Well, man and mun is spelled the same unless you're using like the you ever saw it written in as like the mana? Like if you look in like the English translation of the art scroll, it says mana. For the mun? Yeah, like people who don't know the Hebrew for it will call it mana. I'm gonna go outside now and just collect some mana for the day. And um Do you wanna come with me to get the mana? Yeah. No. You're gonna be hungry if you don't eat the mana. That's the only food we have to eat today. I have pizza upstairs in the freezer. You absolutely do not. There is no upstairs and there is no freezer. Give yourself a round of applause for making it through round one. You can up your point. If you got the correct answer correct, give yourself a point. Let's see what your final tallies are for round one. What are your final tallies? Ten points. 14 points. 10 and 14. Okay, let's see if the Lou Lovely Sisters can make a comeback in round two and beat the Sukha Smackers. Are we ready for round two, everybody? Yeah! Woo-hoo! Round two starts right now. Question number one. During Simcha's Torah, we give two big honors to kibudim. Did you ever hear them selling Aliyaz and Shuol? And then they say, we're selling Kohain for$100. Okay,$200. Okay,$500 sold to Mr. Kohn. So they sell their two kibbudim in shul. Or they just give them to someone special. Depends on the shool. These are special for Simchas Torah. One is in honor of finishing the Torah, and one is in honor of starting the Torah again. Do you know what these two honors are called? I'm gonna say it again. During Simchas Torah, we have two big kibudim, two very big honors that people in the shool are gonna walk away with. One of them is in honor of finishing the Torah, and one of them is in honor of starting the Torah, because both of that happens on Simcha's Torah. What are they called? And I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with a wedding. There's a word in both of these kibbudim, in both of the names of these honors, that have something to do with a wedding, which is very appropriate because us and the Torah, us and Hashem. It's a marriage between us. Chuppa. You know, it's funny that you should say chuppa because there is a part of some castor that's like a chuppa. You ever see when they hold up the talas by kol na aram and all the kids go under there? It looks like a chuppa, but that's not the answer we're looking for. Okay, so you have anything?

SPEAKER_01:

Chasin Aliyah and the Kala Aliyah. Okay, you're actually close. The mother-in-law, Aliyah.

SPEAKER_02:

No, there is no mother-in-law, Aliyah. Listen carefully, everybody. This is a learning moment. They are called Chasin Torah and Chasin Baratis. Chasin Torah is in honor of finishing the Torah and Chasin Barish is in honor of starting Beratus. So there's usually like a big kiddish for Chasin Torah, Chasan Baratis. Some shoals will say, we're not selling this aliyah. It's special for the Rav or special for somebody important. And some shoals will sell it. And guys, if you pay attention, some chas Torah to how much that Aliyah sells for, in some shoals, people will pay tons of money for that aliyah because it's such a big honor.$1,000,$20,000. Starting shoals. I don't know. It's all depends on the shoulder. Or if it's a more simple shoulder, it might only be a thousand dollars. One million. A thousand and a million and a hundred. Yeah. If if you had that much money, would you pay that for it? Never. You could get it and buy it for someone in your life. Buy it for your father. Buy it for your grandfather. I don't know about this. Yeah, Abba did that once. He bought it for his father. That was like really, really special. He bought that one? Yeah, he bought him chasin barishas. Whoa.

SPEAKER_00:

What chasin?

SPEAKER_02:

If you got chasin torah and chasin barishus, you can give yourself one point for each of them. Question number 12. On Hoshan Araba, many have the custom, many have the min hug to eat a special triangle-shaped dumpling with meat inside. What is it called? On Hoshan Arabah, many have the min hug to eat a special triangle shape, usually triangle-shaped dumpling with meat inside. A dumpling is like dough with meat inside, and you can even put it in your soup. What is that called? Here we go. Who knows the answer to this? Kreploch. I also say kreploch. Yes. Amazing. You both got a point. Each team got a point for Kreploch. Do you guys like Kreploch? No. No. You're not a fan? Yeah, I do. She doesn't. Some people like just the outside or just the inside. I like just the inside and the outside. I like both. Question number 13. On sukis, we know that it's called Zeman Simchaseinu, the time of our happiness. The list is many things that kids feel simcha with on sukas. And when I say sukas, I mean the whole yante from the beginning till the end of Simcha's Torah. Since it's Zeman Simchaseinu, the time of our happiness, we do a lot of different things to make kids feel simcha and adults, but right now I'm talking about the kids. To make kids feel simcha over sukkis, you could be creative with your answer. Make a big list of all of the different fun things that kids could be excited for over succus to make their succus more joyful. Okay, time's up. Sucka smackers, we're gonna start with you. You'll say one, and then the Lou Lovely Sisters are gonna say one. We'll go back and forth, okay? Succa hopping.

SPEAKER_01:

Making posters for the suka.

SPEAKER_02:

Getting a chance to decorate it because you get to see your work on the walls. Yes, those little goodie bags that the shulls often give out on Simplastora.

SPEAKER_01:

Sometimes even out on Halomoid.

SPEAKER_02:

Going out on Halomoid for trips.

SPEAKER_01:

Getting candy on Simchastora. Candy.

SPEAKER_02:

More candy. Going on the swing. Going on swings once again. And so what kind of prizes? I don't know, from the show. Our show is bright. Or from your parents, like bribing, you know, like if you sat at the table, you can get a prize. Food. Food. Food makes us happy. I have a lot more.

SPEAKER_01:

We have a lot more. Keep going. Treats, meat canishes, egg rolls, brisket, brisket second cup. Nah. Did you just go through the whole menu? Soda, cedarade, ring pops, bowling, pottery. Wow. Okay.

SPEAKER_02:

You were being very, very specific. Yes. I mean, I was so we can't be. Amazing. Okay. Tally them up at a half a point for each one. Question number 14. When you hold the S rogue and Lulove together, which hand is the Lulove in and which hand is the S rogue in? Oh, I think I listened. When you hold the S rogue and the Lulove together, which hand is the Lulove in and which hand is the S rogue in? This is a really important question. And it's something that we all mix up. I mean, I'm speaking for myself. So really good to practice it and make yourself a hint or something.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, so the escrogue is in your left hand and the Luluve in the right hand.

SPEAKER_02:

Did you have the same answer? Yep. That's correct. Each get a point. Ahuva, did you learn a hint for that? Yeah. What's the hint?

SPEAKER_00:

I don't really remember it so well, but it's like, um if Lulav has Hadasam and Aravo, so it's like three stuff, and then an Astro and just one thing. And a right hand is like apparently it's more like better because it's like the hand you do more mitzvahs with or something.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Shama.

SPEAKER_02:

So it has more things on it. You're saying the Lulav has most of the mitzvah articles in it. Because it has the Lulav and the Hadasam and Arabos. That's why that one would be in the right hand?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. And then your S rogues on your left. Because you only have two hands. If you got that right, give yourself one point. Question number 15. This is gonna be a multiple choice question. So I'm gonna give you three possible answers, and you're gonna pick which one is the correct one. The aravos, which we were just talking about, which are part of the Lulove ensemble, right? The Aravos, which are willow branches, usually grow best either next to a desert, near water, or on a mountaintop. I'm gonna say it again. The aravos that we use in our Lulavan S rogue set, Aravos willows usually grow best next to a desert, near water, or on mountaintops. Which one? Okay, what's your answer?

SPEAKER_01:

Near water.

SPEAKER_02:

Near water with the near water to make stuff grow unless it's a cactus. Unless it's a cactus. I don't know. There are some random plants that grow like really well on a mountaintop, though. If you got that correct, that the Arabos grow best near water, give yourself one point. Question number 16. When B'Ne Israel traveled in the desert, Hashem gave them ananehakavod. Clouds all around them for protection. And that's what we think about when we're in the sukkah. We're enveloped in the sukkah, just like the ananehakavod. Can you list as many jobs as you know that the ananehakavod did for the Jewish people? In what way were they protecting them? I'm gonna say it again. When the Jews were in the desert, Hashem gave them these clouds of glory, ananehakavod that surrounded them on all sides. Can you list as many jobs as you know that the clouds did for them? How do they protect them? Succa smackers, do we know one? Protecting from weapons. Yes, protecting from the enemy weapons, exactly. Um, food and water. I don't think they provided food and water. That's what the mun was for, and that's what the the bear marion was for. We also wrote mun. It did not provide mun. It didn't provide mun. We had okay, so because you have one?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, raid. What about raid? Um, it protected them from raid. Because there's one on top of them.

SPEAKER_02:

And snow. It protected them from weather, any weather-related thing. Bad weather. Like the hot sun.

SPEAKER_01:

We wrote win the wars. We wrote no fighting and winning wars.

SPEAKER_02:

So I think wars, enemies, weapons is all one thing. And it smoothed out the land before you. That is correct. It smoothed out the land before them, cleaned the path for them to keep going. It also guided their direction so they knew where to go. There was a cloud in the front that provided them with how they knew where they were going. And it even flattened out mountains for them.

SPEAKER_01:

That's what they all stand.

SPEAKER_02:

Kind of, yeah. So, like one thing is that it smoothed out the ground, like it cleaned it up, but there was nothing like in the way. But it would literally smooth out mountains or like fill in like a dip, you know, like you have like a big pothole in the road. All in all, it's pretty miraculous. For each one that you got correct, you can give yourself one whole point. Question 17. What is the shortest possible height for a kosher suka? What is the shortest possible height for a kosher suka? First, we go to the suka smackers. You have something for us? Is it like 15 almost high? Shortest? All this? The question was shortest possible. Do another guess. We're gonna first go to the other team. Lou lovely sisters, what's your guess? Um, we wrote six feet. Seven feet. You say seven feet. Okay. Eight feet. Six feet! The correct answer is ten t fachim, which is the same thing as about three feet. Three feet. You can't even fit in that. It's still a kosher sucker. What even go with that? Yeah, I can almost stand in it if I was a full. Three feet shorter. Taller than three feet. Yeah, well, let's say it's nice and wide. You can literally lay down and eat. Whatever. So it's like you can probably sit under it. You can sit down. You know?

SPEAKER_01:

Your head could sit. Your body can't.

SPEAKER_02:

If you got that correct, ten twachim high, or three feet, if you wrote about three feet, then you got the answer correct. Give yourself a point. Question number eighteen. I'm sorry. Yeah. Am I going according to 18 or so? What have I been saying?

SPEAKER_01:

You are going to 18.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, go ahead. Eight, really. Okay. Really? Question number eighteen. Question number eighteen. The esrogue that we use for the mitzvah is a citrus fruit. Name as many other citrus fruits that you know. The esrogue is a citrus fruit. Name as many other citrus fruits, which obviously cannot be used for the mitzvah that you know. Just because we're talking about citrus fruits. Let's start with the prices. Lime. Pineapple. Mmm.

SPEAKER_01:

Mango. No. Lemon? Yes, lemon. Clementine. I wrote orange. I just wrote rag and fruit. Starfruit. No. Apple. Dragon fruit.

SPEAKER_02:

No. Okay, I'll tell you. Grapefruit is a citrus fruit. A pimelo. What's a pimelo? A pimelo. It's just like a very large citrus fruit. I don't know how else to describe it. Is it like this big? No, it's not that big. It's like it's like bigger than a grapefruit. Oh.

SPEAKER_01:

I saw in the store like a fruit this big.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, maybe that was a watermelon. No. It was like cokey. Oh, I don't know what that was. You get a half a point for each if you said a citrus fruit, like if you said orange, clementine, lemon, lime, grapefruit, pomella, there's probably more, but if you said one of those, you can for sure give yourself a half a point for each one that you got correct. And then an orange is the same thing? Um, I think they're not exactly the same. They're different breeds of citrus fruits. And the mandarin is another one also. You ever heard of mandarin oranges? I thought they were all the same thing, but well, they are types of oranges, but yeah. Okay. Related. Definitely cousins.

SPEAKER_01:

It's like saying Granny Applesmith is different than a red apple.

SPEAKER_02:

They're like very close family friends.

SPEAKER_01:

Cute family friends.

SPEAKER_02:

Not cousins? Cute family friends, right? Like we say in our life. Do you know Morablanca? I do know Mora Blanca, yeah. She's like my great-grandmother. She's your great-grandmother? Mara Blanca. Who is that? I don't know. Mora Blanca is that Mora that I was telling you about from Muncie that she survived the Holocaust. She made up tons of songs. Like the mitzvah to sing them with my class. How's she your gr great-grandmother? My father's grandmother. Wow. Are you Hasidish? Kind of. Kind of. You're like doing like a head nod, like uh-ish. What? Does she still live in New Square? Yeah. And she's like 99. Kininahara. Whoa. Does she still teach at all? Like, does she ever go to the classroom?

SPEAKER_01:

No.

SPEAKER_02:

She was like the best nursery teacher ever. You remember her? She wasn't mine. She was Miri's, my sister's. Oh, well, I think. I was living in Connecticut when I was that age. Yeah. No, but she was a teacher for way many years before. You think um that I'm too old to have been her student? Okay, two more questions. Question number 19. In Israel and America, succus happens in the fall. In places basically in the northern hemisphere. What season does succus come out in if you live in Australia? In Israel and America, succus happens in the fall or the autumn, if you want to be fancy. What season is succus in Australia? Sisters, what's your answer? Um summer. What about you guys? Spring. Spring. Spring. The answer is spring. The seasons are flipped. Since Australia's in the southern hemisphere, they celebrate buckets in the spring. One point if you got that right. Question 20. Simcha's Torah celebrates finishing the Torah. How many Parshios are in the whole safer Torah? Simcha's Torah celebrates when we finish the whole Torah. So how many Parshas are there in the Torah? I see you trying to count. You're gonna be counting for a long time. Let's start with uh Success Smackers. Our guess is 54. Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

It's about that. 45.

SPEAKER_02:

The answer is 54. How did you know that? I don't know. I made it up. No, you didn't. It's pretty funny that you said 45 because that's the flip of that. Told us it before counted up and you're correct. I can't believe you got that. Wow, what a guess. Well, it was an educated guess though. I don't think it was like you weren't just like, oh, 92. Like you actually thought about that guess. Good for you.

SPEAKER_01:

I know that Brages had like 13 or 12, and then I know that um one of them has like another two. So I was just guessing like, hey, it's not it's more than 50. So 52, and then I'm like, let's just do 54. Let's just add some more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

All right, guys. Good game. Add up all of your points from round two so we can put the two rounds together. What do you think of those questions? 22. All in all, were they super hard or easy or regular? Regular. Regular is good. Okay, what do we got? Five. From both rounds? No.
