30 out of 32. I missed where Jesus was born and that Job was related to obedience while suffering. I put Abraham because my view was that he was obedient (about to kill his son) while suffering (he himself would kill his son). I can't believe I missed where Jesus was born seeing as I was raised Catholic. The Maimonides didn't sound Hindu so I guessed it was related to Judaism.

I missed that too. I mean, it doesn't get any more obedient than killing your own kid, right? Shows what I know :)

Because of recent conversations, it's worth mentioning that I first learned of the story of Abraham and Isaac from Leonard Cohen.

Rabbi Cohen is the best place to learn these things.
