Gather your wits (and some back issues of Mishpacha), and we’ll see how much you’ve absorbed on this journey through Jewish history
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, chassidim and misnagdim, beginners and know-it-alls, welcome to For the Record’s Annual Trivia Extravaganza. For the last four years, we‘ve been schlepping you through the back alleys of Jewish history, bringing you nearly 250 columns.
Of course, each of our columns is meticulously researched and fact-checked. (Well, most of them…) From the shtetls of Eastern Europe to the bustling streets of New York, from the hallowed halls of legendary yeshivos to the courts of chassidic dynasties, we‘ve traversed time and space to unearth hidden gems from our past. Because you know what happens to those who forget their past….
We‘ve shared tales of rabbinical giants, community leaders, and unsung heroes who left an indelible mark on Jewish life. Now it‘s time to see if all the hours spent poring over dusty archives, deciphering faded Yiddish newspapers, and frantically writing columns past the weekly deadline was time well invested.

Do your friends know how proficient your knowledge is about Jews in the Civil War, Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, and the Old Yishuv of Yerushalayim? Are you a walking encyclopedia of rabbinic trivia? Or does the information go in one era and out the other?
