The Twenty Kashias

Kashias is how you say "questions" in Yiddish, vis a vis the Four Kashias of Pesach. Here, I have compiled a list of twenty riddles. "It's gonna be a really tough project, you're gonna have to use your head, your mind and your brain too" (2 points).

The riddles are structured in the following way: a phrase in regular font, followed by a phrase in bold. The regular phrase depicts a Jewish-related phrase or idea, and the bold phrase gives more information. The key is that the sentence is a play on an existing phrase or idea. In some cases, letters are added or subtracted; in others, letters are changed; and in yet others, the phrase remains intact, with a new meaning implied. It's a bit complicated to explain, so I hope the example will make things clearer.

These questions involve a few areas of knowledge:
a. knowledge of the Bible, Jewish ideas, and culture
b. an ear for language, and an appreciation of puns/wordplay
c. researching skills, to discover the answers to some hard-to-find clues

Two last items: the first is that you must submit all your answers at one time; the second is that the point values in parentheses are the values for the correct answer. Since I have no way of making sure that you don't look at other people's answers, this is on a trust system. Enjoy, and the answers will be posted one week from today.
