The more I study Torah , read the Siddur, I redo all the quizzes to test my knowledge. Reply

I kept flunking over and over. It was difficult and made no sense to me. I took it until I memorized the answers. Reply

Why are there 19 berachot on weekdays, and only 7 on Shabbat? I would have thought it would be the other way around. Reply

in response to Rivka Rachum:

I’m pretty sure it’s because we are not supposed to ask for specific requests on shabbos cuz it’s the day of rest Reply

For a person that davens 3 times a day 9/10 is not a satisfactory quiz answering Reply

Tuvya San Diego July 20, 2023

Oy, that was painful. I pray the silent Amidah at shul on Shabbos and clearly don't know enough about it. Thank you for the wake up call and the opportunity to learn!! Reply

8/10 Not bad for a Noahide.:) Reply

Adrianne July 20, 2023

Oops I did terribly! Because I don't know anything about the silent prayer! Didn't know it existed! I guessed at everything and got 3/10. I am excited to learn about it! I guess you really stepped up the difficulty level of the quizzes! I didn't see anything about Mendy in this one! Lolol! Thank you for giving the opportunity to learn in a very stimulating way! I know a lot about silent praying, but not the Jewish way! Really do thank you! Reply

2nd time 10/10 Reply

Jack Harpers Ferry, WV July 20, 2023

To quote the Amidah itself, "you graciously endow man with wisdom, and teach insight to a frail mortal..." (blessing 4, Shmoneh Esrei)
There is much about this prayer I still don't know. 8/10 isn't bad, but much of it was guessing at what I 'feel' is correct about it.
I was suggesting to the rabbi at the local Chabad house that I would really like to find a course on the Siddur prayers for Shacharis, Minchah, and Maariv to really dive into them and uncover all of the connections to Hashem that are contained there. Reply
