I scored 9/10. The only one I got wrong was something about where to place idolatrous objects Reply

Dear Rabbi,
Excellent quiz; I scored 9/10 (without a review or notes). Question #3 was tricky for me and I got it wrong because I was thinking about the story of the Prophet Elijah.

Thanks for these weekly quizzes. Just wondering whether questions are based on the most significant lessons from each parasha or other lessons? Reply

My Teacher, I thank Hashem that you educating me to Torah study of which I answered parsha re' eh 10 over 10. I'm increasing in Torah study. Shalom and shabbat shalom. Reply
Dear Rabbi,
I learned new things this year that didn’t stand out from previous years from reading the same scripture readings. For example, not to pass by beggars on the street, give something because G-d is watching us and testing us “to see” if we can be charitable to a stranger. Awesome! I scored 10/10, too.
we are taught that it is better to give, say, a dollar each to 100 poor people, than to give $100 to one poor person. that is because what matters is not how much we give, but that we give, because each act of giving makes us that much better of a person
Awesome comment which I too can relate.
Recently, my son boarded a flight to the UK, on July 27th.I mentioned to him to make sure he check for his belongings before leaving an area. His reply was, “…I am not a child”.
He was the first person to board the plane and to place his luggage in the overhead bin. Guess what he found? An envelope with 30 one dollar bills, with a dated slip for June 13, 2026 (date of his stepfather’s birthday that passed away on April 22, 2026). To say what: was it meant just for him to find (because he cared for his stepfather for four months to the day he died) or that the person that lost it meant to give to others as a tip or beggars that asked for change. What do you think?
Finally, I now try my best to have change to give to a beggar, or ask a person if they need change (this is the most rewarding experience because the first time I had the courage to approach a homeless with that question and give I felt my soul being lifted and close to G_d.
It is a wonderful instinct to want to give to others. Just make sure you first have enough saved up for yourself. Torah law is instructive about this. We are to give 10% of our income and not more than 20%. There is such a limit because we are not to give so much to others, that we impoverish ourselves, which only makes us a burden on society. So while I am sure your son has the feeling to give all of the $30 away, he should actually resist that urge, giving to others no more than about $6, or 20%. Once he becomes super rich, of course, he can then give away more than that
Thank you for your advice.
