	Yay! 12/12! Of course, being Israeli probably helped a bit ;)

	I got four, and I'm not sure if I'm surprised that I got so few [since I went to Hebrew school (after normal school, not for my everyday schooling, thank god) for thirteen years], or surprised that I got so many (since I am an atheist who couldn't care less about religion, and even refuses to do Birthright). I also think "Adar I" or "Adar II" should be a bonus answer, since leap years have thirteen months.

	I haven't taken the quiz because I'm sure I would fail. However, I believe calendar is spelled with an "a".

	Got em all :)

	flutebabe22:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	3 points
	Yay 12/12! @Kicking Adar II was added, got that one too :)

	I've been to so many Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, so I thought I knew them, but I blanked. I fail.

	I got only one, thanks to Jon Stewart.

	Todd1952SF:	May 11th, 2009 at 15:34 GMT	3 points
	AlexG is correct -- the correct spelling is "calendar" rather than "calender".

	I'm Israeli by birth, and it didn't help. Grew up in America... 2/12.

	Uh, I spent forever spelling Tishrei, finally got it. Didn't do well, however :( Only Nisan and Kislev

	sophicmuse:	Jun 29th, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	3 points
	7/12 - better than I expected, actually, considering I'm very Reform.

	this quiz is so jewish

	berm1219:	Nov 24th, 2009 at 05:30 GMT	6 points
	Not to be a stickler, but Adar 1 should be the bonus answer, since that is the month added on leap years. All holidays and anniversaries that usually fall in Adar are observed in Adar 2.

	its the jewish calinder not the hebrew because hebrew is the language get your facts right

	ilusha:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT	5 points
	It is the calendar of the ancient Hebrews, so I think it counts. The language is actually Aramaic. The calendar months were instituted in Babylon.

	edr19:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 02:38 GMT	2 points
	12/12; it helps to be Jewish

	RS89:	Feb 26th, 2010 at 03:13 GMT	4 points
	"Hebrew" should be capitalized.

	tulliuscicero:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 13:20 GMT	1 point
	Not as lapsed as I thought I was.

	biskaroo:	Nov 14th, 2010 at 06:40 GMT	4 points
	Whether it's a Jewish calendar or a Hebrew calendar, why is it categorized as a religion quiz? It's a language quiz.

	segacs:	Dec 18th, 2010 at 02:33 GMT	2 points
	@biskaroo, it's a religion quiz because the months aren't translations of the solar/Gregorian calendar months, but are the months of the religious Jewish calendar. "Tishrei" is its own month, not a translation of September or October. Hence, religion.

	ive gone to a jewish school since kindergarten and got them all right in 30 seconds. GO JEWS!!

	catcherj:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 21:43 GMT	1 point
	I love that Adar 2 pops up as a bonus answer.

	justinbieber:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 02:32 GMT	1 point
	blanked. studied daily for 7 years. 10/12!

	bookwyrm838:	Aug 9th, 2011 at 14:59 GMT	1 point
	I think that some alternate spellings should be accepted- "sh'vat" is a better transliteration of שבט.

	Zvi:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 12:35 GMT	1 point
	Marchesvan should be accepted. That's the full, original name of the month. Chesvan is a shortened version. Both forms are used today. Heshvan should also work.

	Since when did Tishri have an 'e' in it???? Oh dear.

	bgates1:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 05:39 GMT	1 point
	Got em in 29 seconds!!!

	Mitch45:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 17:21 GMT	1 point
	Got it in 27 seconds - that means it took me a little over two seconds to type each answer. Yay me.

	BanjoZebra:	Nov 5th, 2011 at 18:55 GMT	3 points
	Somewhat hard to transliterate. Maybe accept Heshvan for Cheshvan?

	yeehaw_buckaroo:	Nov 15th, 2011 at 17:16 GMT	1 point
	Agreed, there should definitely be more options for accepted spellings. I eventually got all 12 but I had to try 3 or 4 different spellings for Cheshvan.

	Nice one!
