beauty - 2025 NAFTA - Buzzpoints

Packet 6: Bonus 18

A figure notable for this characteristic hid under his teacher’s bed while he had sex, and when confronted, simply noted “it is Torah, and I must learn.” For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this characteristic of Rabbi Yochanan that was commented on by his longtime rival Reish Lakish after he spotted Rabbi Yochanan bathing in a river.

ANSWER: beauty [or handsomeness or attractiveness or clear equivalents; accept looking like a woman]

[10e] Rav Kahana’s altercation with his teacher and the rivalry between Reish Lakish and Rabbi Yochanan are chronicled in this religious text, which comprises the Gemara commentary and the Mishnah collection of Oral Torah.

ANSWER: Babylonian Talmud [or Talmud Bavli; reject “Jerusalem Talmud”]

[10m] This rabbi from 11th century France wrote the first full commentary on the Talmud, in which he argues that Yochanan’s epithet “bar Nafcha” refers to his beauty. This rabbi used the term peshat for his straightforward exegeses.

ANSWER: Rashi [or Shlomo Yitzchaki or Salomon Isaacides or Salomon ben Isaac de Troyes]
