Scott says,

“King David is the biblical figure with whom I most closely identify. He had the best intentions but was so utterly and humanly flawed. I can definitely relate to that. Plus, David is my middle name, and my closest friend (my brother) is named Jonathan.”

Here are some of our favorite Jewish doppelgangers:

• “The prophet Amos – came down from the mountains, raised hell and then left town.” — Jay
• “I am most like Devorah, the judge. I am all about justice. I get truly indignant when I hear about evil getting away without punishment.”  — Lara
• “I love Momma Sarah. I know she was a woman of great faith, but she was also a woman of great doubts. Remember it was her idea that Abraham lay with Haggar because she felt G-d wasn’t working fast enough. I often find myself asking G-d to work on my timetable instead of changing to His.”  — Treena
• “Definitely Vashti. She’s always given a bad rap in Hebrew School, but I think that refusing to dance naked for your husband and his drunken poker buddies, knowing full well that you will be kicked out on your ass, is pretty heroic.” –  Beth
• “It’s got to be Eddie Vedder – they say he’s Jewish, and I too cannot look anyone in the eye while singing or playing guitar.” — Eitan
• “Biblically, my doppelganger has to be Chana…She was a prayer extraordinaire! And while I don’t claim to be on her level, not even close, I aspire to become more like her in my prayer life. Having her name has always motivated me to work on cultivating a stronger prayer life.” — Chana
• “Jonah, the clowny ‘prophet’ running away from the task given by God, falling asleep when life is a mess and having a taste for melodrama, slightly aloof but with heaps of irony.” — Frances
• “I’m going Moses. I live in Texas and Charlton Heston was Moses. Furthermore, when I get angry I like to break stuff cave man style. When I buy a case of beer I often drink it from the middle out, effectively “parting” the beer sea. Im not really a leader of men, but once or twice a vagrant has followed me about asking for cash. Also, I rock the fly beard which is pretty Moses, though I dont wear girl jeans which – lets face it – if Moses was around he’d probably rock. Fricken’ hipster.” — Adam

Thank you for playing!
