JBQ Weekly Quizzes - MISHPATIM

==============================================================================

This week's PARSHA is from Exodus (MISHPATIM) Chapters 21: 1 - 24:18

Questions were prepared by Rabbi Joshua Adler and members of the staff.

1. The Talmud (Bava Metzia 59) indicates that the Torah mentions how we
should deal with the *stranger* no less than 36 times. Where in our PARSHA
do we learn that we are not allowed to anger or oppress the stranger ?
What is the reason given ?

2. The way the Torah demands we treat our servants is vastly different
from the way a slave was treated in ancient civilizations (and even
in 19th Century America). If a man had no money and sold himself as a 
servant what was to happen to him after 6 years of servitude ?

3. If a slave owner hit his slave and the slave's tooth fell out what
was to become of the slave ?

4. Where in the PARSHA do we learn that we are to return missing
property even if it entails effort on our part ?

5. What festivals are mentioned in Chapter 23 ?
