- **__Basic Information__** o Current City: He is dead now but the last place he was in was the land of Moab. o Hometown: Egypt o Sex: Male o Birthday: 1525 B.C. o Political Views: Democrat o Religious Views: Jewish o Bio: Moses was born in Egypt during the period where Pharaoh sentenced all male Jewish babies to death, because he didn't want the Jews to have enough men for an army. Moses's mother, Yockeved, didn't want Moses to die, so she wrapped him in a basket and sent him on the Nile River. She hoped that some kind Egyptian would find him and take him in. Pharaoh's daughter rescued Moses and adopted him. Moses lived a very privileged Egyptian lifestyle until he saw an Egyptian taskmaster beating a slave. Something snapped within Moses and he killed the Egyptian. He knew Pharaoh would be furious so he fled into the desert of Midian. He became a shepherd, and one day as he was tending to the sheep he saw a burning bush. The bush was on fire, yet it didn't disintegrate. He was then informed by God that he was chosen to free the Jewish people from slavery. God had him speak to Pharaoh asking if the Jewish people could be freed, and every time Pharaoh said no a new plague was brought upon Egypt. The tenth plague was death of the first born son in Egyptian families, and it broke Pharaoh’s resistance because his first born son was dead. The Jews were granted their freedom and Moses led them to the Red Sea. As they were about to cross, he saw the Egyptian army slowly approaching, and panicked. God told him to lift his staff and the sea would part. Although Moses was resistant, the army was getting closer so he lifted his staff and the sea parted. The Jewish people ran through and by the time the Egyptian army was halfway across, the sea went back to normal, drowning most of the army. Not only did Moses lead the Jewish people into freedom, but he also climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments, which are the rules Jews abide by today. He died when he was 120 years old in the land of Moab. o Favorite Quotations: He who has never learned to obeycannot be a good commander. ~Aristotle To find what you seek in the road of life, the best proverb of all is that which says:"Leave no stone unturned." ~Edward Bulwer Lytton

**GROUP 1: Positive thinking - EXPLANATION: Moses joined this group because he wasn't always positive about events in his life. When God told him he was chosen to lead the Jewish people out of slavery, he had doubts about whether he could do it. He felt unworthy of the job and asked his brother Aaron to help. He should have had more faith in himself and his abilities.

GROUP 2: Saving Marine Life - EXPLANATION: When Moses parted the Red Sea, he killed a lot of marine life. He feels bad about hurting marine life in Egypt, which is why he joined this club. Moses enjoys helping others and now he wants to give back to the species that he hurt. Great joy and accomplishment come from knowing he saved more lives.

GROUP 3: KGHshuls - EXPLANATION: When Moses was alive, he didn't know that he was going to be one of the greatest Jewish prophets. If he were alive now he probably would be supporting many Jewish causes. Moses joined KGHshuls because it publicizes Torah around the community and encourages people to reach out to others. He is altruistic and is a great match for this group.

GROUP 4: Devine Halowings newsletter: Do you have an angel encounter or know a tale of one? - EXPLANATION: Moses joined this group because he does have a story involving an angle. The tenth plague God put on Egyptians was death of the first born son. Moses told every Jew to put blood on their doorposts so the angel of death would pass over their homes. The next morning all of the Egyptians first born sons were dead but the angel of death passed over Jewish homes.

GROUP 5: International-Adopt-Talk - EXPLANATION: Moses was taken in by Pharaoh's daughter when he was just a baby. He never knew his real mother or heritage. This group gives Moses a chance to share stories with other people who have been adopted. It is a great way for Moses to come to terms with the fact that he was raised by a person who hurt Jews.

GROUP 6: Wander Lust mc - EXPLANATION: After Moses and the Israelites crossed the red sea and escaped Pharaoh, they were in the desert of Midian. For forty years they wandered. People looked up to Moses because he found them food and water. This club helps Moses come up with ideas to keep the Jewish people from dying of boredom.

GROUP 7: Kosher- Low- Carb - EXPLANATION: Jews are kosher, meaning they don't eat meat that came from animals who were fed hormones. Moses is a Kosher Jew and this club gives new kosher recipes. Because he is so busy freeing the Jews out of slavery, he doesn't have to time exercise. The low- carb recipes help keep his weight down so he can live until he is 120 years old.

GROUP 8: Quotegems - EXPLANATION: Moses joined this group because its goal is to motivate others. He motivated the Jews to leave Egypt to get better lives for themselves. When the Jewish people were wandering in the desert he encouraged them to never give up. This group allows him to share his motivational groups with people all over the world.

GROUP 9: German Shepherd Club - EXPLANATION: After Moses killed an Egyptian taskmaster, he fled Egypt. He became a shepherd in Midian and for many years he tended to sheep and advised other shepherd’s. Because he spent so much time around animals he began to develop a love for German Shepherd’s. He decided to join this club so he could be around other people who love German Shepherd’s.

GROUP 10: US Competitive Swimming Club - EXPLANATION: Moses was able to part the Red Sea so there was a path of land to walk across, but what if the sea didn't part. He is a member of this club because he wants to learn how to swim. Moses thinks it’s better to be safe than sorry, so he joined just in case the sea didn't part. This is a competitive swimming club, so Moses knew he would be prepared to beat any of the Egyptians who tried to swim after him.**

QUIZ 1: How Should you Spend your Summer? ** - RESULTS: **Soak up the SUN!!!** You scored as someone who should really enjoy your summer being in the sun and never shading yourself! Get a tan, or be a little more confident! Shine like the Sun but aim for the stars! - **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">EXPLANATION: ** The first question asked what’s your favorite color and Moses answered red because he parted the red sea. The second question was what’s your favorite thing about summer, and Moses answered the sun because after he fled Egypt he worked as a shepard under the hot sun. The third question asked Moses what his favorite thing is and the choices were a cell phone, soccer ball, girlfriend/ boyfriend, or tanning cream. He picked a cell phone because it would make his connection with God easier. The last question asked what kind of music he likes to listen to over the summer and he picked songs Jimmy Buffett. The song License to Kill is his favorite because the lyrics, "Work, work, work, big pile of it and the boss is a jerk. I just want to disappear, wishin' I was somewhere other than here." express the way the Jewish people were treated in Egypt. He doesn't like the way Pharaoh treated them and ended up freeing them from Egypt.

- **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">RESULTS: ** **rue21- Casual** - **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">EXPLANATION: ** Moses likes to wear t-shirts, hats, sunglasses, and headbands that go around his forehead because that is the style in Egypt. It is also so hot and sunny he wants to keep cool. He likes to hangout at the "club" which is really his palace in Egypt because that is where he was raised. The lyrics, "All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus", by Britney Spears defines him because he was in the center of the Red Sea when it parted and everyone was looking at him.

You seem to be the kind of person that everyone respects, and deep down wishes they could be more like even if they won't admit it. So keep letting the snow come down. I have a feeling that it's going to be a beautiful day. - **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">EXPLANATION: ** Moses is snow because he is kind and compassionate. When he saw an Egyptian taskmaster brutally beating a Hebrew slave, he stood up for the slave and killed the Egyptian. Although it took a lot of courage to stand up to Pharaoh, he did it to save the lives of many Jewish people. When people doubted his abilities as they wandered through the desert, he never got upset. He had a great amount of passion and will power.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">- EXPLANATION: ** Moses is not a daredevil. He needed to know that God was on his side and he needed his brother Aaron to help him confront Pharaoh. This quiz asked what one would do in different situations with a boyfriend or girlfriend. On every question Moses chose an answer that wasn't too aggressive and considered others feelings. For example, in the situation where his girlfriend can't make it to a planned date, he would sit around and wonder why she cancelled instead of confronting her.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">- RESULTS: ** **Flats**- you are bright and outstanding you love people and you have many close friends you are modest and cool <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">- EXPLANATION: The first question asked Moses's favorite color which is red because he parted the Red Sea. Then the quiz asked what his type of friends are, and Moses is friends with anybody. He didn't discriminate against any Jew when he was helping them escape from Pharaoh. The last two questions asked what he does on weekdays and what he likes to read. On weekdays he does his assignments from God and then reads the Ten Commandments. Moses is also a flat because the whole time he was communicating with God he was very modest, but by freeing the Jewish people from slavery was very cool.
