Most like: Yefes. (I'm not that impressive, but I know who is.)
Would marry: (None of the Imahos. I could not tolerate being bossed around or circumvented like that.) Avigayil. Definitely.
Want on my team: Pinchas ben Elazar Hakohen. Definitely.
Be close friends with: Chira Ha'Adulami. Definitely.
Excellent Disney Villain: Pharaoh. (Unoriginal answer, but hey, there's a reason they made the movies about him. All good vs evil movies rely on a great villain to make it worth watching.)
Which biblical character would you want to be close friends with?
shaul-seems he could use a friend
no fair. pharaoh actually WAS a disney villian!
gomer would cheat on you
For Purim Hamevaser a million years ago, we had a Disney Iyov. Pretty funny, IMHO.
These are wonderful questions, and seem to elicit responses that are quite revelatory about the respondents' own characters and about their knowledge of Tanach.
Love the response of Ezra -- brilliant, dedicated, irascible. Such a friendship would indeed be stimulating and productive.
Curious about the response of Yonatan. Loyal, yes. But he always struck me as a wimp.
And Izevel must have looked exactly like Cruella DeVille or the queen in Snow White.
If I were in a war, I'd want Yo'av ben Tzeruyah on my side.
I've long viewed Yishma'el ben Nesanya as a fairly awesome villain, but he might be more of a Leatherface-like figure than a Disney villain.
yonatan masterminded the victory at michmas with a brilliant but daring move.
my gomer answer was a gratuitious display of my knoledge of tanach and, as my real-life wife pointed out, would cheat on me as she cheated (according to the gemara) on her own husband.
anyone know where she appears?
anyone know where she appears?
Hoshea 1.3.
Full disclosure: I'm in the middle of studying Trei Asar, and I blogged about Hoshea and Gomer a month ago here.
1) You owe the Rebbetzin for that Gomer crack.
2) She should reconsider yoru mtoives for your oldest child's name.
2) A cab driver in Monsey once told me " We can't be masig the tzidkus of Koyrach. All he wanted was to be maktir ketoyres lifnai vlifnim." He would have loved you.
pleini
its actually the first two kids names.
Also if I was setting up the rabbi with someone from tanach it would be one of the Tzlofchad girls.
I would marry a Yosef or an Aharon
biblical villain - Haman - he reminds me of Jafar from Aladdin
I would want to marry Barak
i'd want to be close with miriam and ruth (that's interesting - my mother and my grandmother 
Like: Elitzur (well, I have to answer that - and I like numbers...)
Marry: Yael - she's got guts
Team: Eliezer (and Og)
Friend: Malachi - I love the screed against looking frum but not acting that way
Villain: Bila'm - he's Jafar for sure
Malachi - I love the screed against looking frum but not acting that way
then you have your pick of friends.
adderebbitzin-yosef seems a little anoying...gotta wonder about that one
i second all the comments about adderabbi's choice cof gomer and hadbeen wonderign when your wife was gonna find otu about that.
Oooohhhh, VERY scandalous choice with Gomer. I guess it's her name that makes her a shoe-in for every red-blooded male (American or otherwise).
Biblical character for a friend: Chagai. Good to be around cheerful, optimistic visionaries.
Disney has also used the snake as a villain (animated Robin Hood).
I'd want Yoav as my chief of staff. The man was TOUGH. Plus, he was not a yes man. He was able to tell off David when he thought David was wrong.
I'd want to be an FOD. (Friend-of David.) The best mankind has to offer is made manifest through him - courage, love, humor, passion. He was a flawed human being, but still the great hero of Israel. Is there anyone in Jewish history more beloved, by all of Jewry, than David?
david - yes. sandy koufax.
But not Kevin Youkillis!
Wouldn't you guys want Avraham on your side during a war? How many wars did he win single handedly? (Sorry for joining in late)
