Shalom JP Readers,
I’ve been looking at the results of the quiz, which are sent to me anonymously. Most folks are scoring pretty high. So far the question that has the most people stumped is “Shmuel Safrai believed Jesus was closest to which stream of ancient Judaism.” I don’t want to give away the answer, but if you need a hint take a look at the list of articles on Safrai’s author page: https://www.jerusalemperspective.com/author/shmuel-safrai/.
