	im sure the 2nd temple wouldve counted as the largest synagogue, too bad that only 1/4th of its perimeter is still around.

	I really liked the quiz, despite the fact it made me feel like a bad Jew for not knowing more answers. I just can't figure out the Solomon answer. Once I saw it, I assumed that the 'Son of David' was the name given to any king of Israel after Solomon, instead of the actual Son of David. Due to my lack of knowledge of Israel's history, this seemed logical. However, I understand I should have given it more thought and chosen the obvious answer, but why even have it at all? He is not the current King of Israel, having been dead for a while now, and is more part of the history of Israel than a current fact.

	@jujuju: He was placed on the quiz because he is a significant figure from the past that has ties to the country. If you take the Italy Country Quiz, a ruler of the Roman Empire might be an answer for the quiz even though they have nothing to do with the current "Italian Republic"....the ruler was important to the culture of the current country...Hope that helped!

	Funny that this quiz was released on the Sabbath. The observant Jews won't be using their computers for 24 hours. The percentage results may change on Sunday!

	Please accept 'sheqel'.

	Mt Hermon is by far the highest point in Israel, Mt Meron is not even close.

	Israel celebrates holidays based on the Hebrew calendar, so the Gregorian date for "Independence Day" varies each year.

	@General: Yes, there is a difference. Great Britain is the largest island in the British Isles and includes England, Scotland, and Wales. It does not include Northern Ireland, which is also part of the United Kingdom.

	statisticsmike:	Sep 17th, 2011 at 06:37 GMT	1 point
	@ravenmaniac They probably used Mt Meron because Mt Hermon is in the Golan Heights, which is disputed territory.

	The weird "Son of David" question makes no sense to have on a quiz about the modern country. The "Independence Day" question is also weird, because (as others have noted) it's not as if Israel celebrates independence on May 14th. Finally, while I've never been there personally, from reports my understanding is that "Drives on the..." should be "sidewalk".

	The correct name of the second largest city (in English) is Tel Aviv-Jaffa as it incorporates the two historic towns as one modern entity. If you accept "Tel Aviv" as an answer you must also accept "Jaffa" as one of the five largest cities as it has a higher population then no's 4 and 5.

	Wow, I'm Israeli and I didn't know all of this! National Dog?! Didn't know we had one!

	I was disappointed when I tried Hava Nagila for the national anthem and it didn't work.

	National dog?

	HowLongs:	Sep 17th, 2011 at 13:18 GMT	6 points
	Some of these are a bit absurd. The national bird was only decided quite randomly after polling in some schools a few years back. I bet you could ask 50 Israelis in the street and none will know what's our national dog. But overall it was kinda fun.

	jebron:	Sep 17th, 2011 at 13:23 GMT	9 points
	Do other countries have a national dog?

	SomeoneRandom:	Sep 17th, 2011 at 14:05 GMT	8 points
	This quiz has an error. Tel Aviv is the largest city in Israel, while the quiz claims it is the second, presumably after Jerusalem. Please change the Tel Aviv clue to 'Largest City'.
