Day 5 - Daily Task - Face Merge Challenge!

Today we commemorate Tisha B'Av, the saddest day in the Jewish calendar.

Whilst Jewish people are fasting all over the world, today's Daily Task looks at some of the great Jewish leaders from across the generations.

Today's task takes place on a new tab on our Facebook page. Click here to be taken straight there.

You will be presented with 5 pictures, each of which has been created by merging the faces of two well-known Jewish leaders. These leaders could be from a variety of fields, from Politics, to Sport and Entertainment. Here is an example...


After each picture you will be given 4 possible answers to choose from and for each correct answer, you will earn 1 Scavenger Hunt point, meaning that a total of 5 points can be earned today! Click here to play today's task now!

*Please note that unfortunately today's Daily Task can not be played on most mobile devices.

As always there is also a great Daily Prize on offer: We will pick 3 people at random from those who earn 5 points in today's task and each will receive a $25 Amazon voucher!

May we merit this Tisha B'Av to see beyond the many differences that  divide us and instead focus on what good we have in common and hopefully by doing so, we will merge from a scattered people into "one".

Good luck and well over the fast!

P.S. Don't forget that to earn points and have the chance to win prizes, you need to register for the Scavenger Hunt, It takes 20 seconds and can be done right here!
