The Etgar Quiz no 268

JL;DR SUMMARY The Etgar Quiz covers various Jewish topics: a Nobel Prize-winning poet who escaped Nazi Germany (Nelly Sachs), a Chasidic Rebbe and university professor (Rav Yitzchak Twersky), the reasons for Nadav and Avihu's death in the Torah (bringing a forbidden sacrifice), the ship Exodus with Jewish refugees (departed in 1947), shatnez rules (forbidding wool and linen garments), and leaving part of the field for the poor to harvest (pe'ah). A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
