Frum on Jeopardy!


A frum woman named Gitta Neufeld - a "Judaic Studies Teacher Trainer" from Far Rockaway, won over $18,000 on Jeopardy! tonight.
She entered the Final Jeopardy round in second place, but upon seeing the category was "Old Testament", she bet all but $100.
Smart move.
She knows her Iyov ;)
Good for her.

    It's also ossur to make a huge chillul Hashem, and there are rabbanim who say you make shake hands in order to avoid humiliating someone. I would say that this was one of thise cases, and also to forestall the many non jews watching jeopordy from comments about how she wouldn't, ect, which would have been a bigger chillul Hashem. You should probably learn something and get out in the big wide world before making comments like that.
