I like this site, but I am very frutrated in your set-up which has a convoluted way of getting to features. For instance, I can’t seem to access the quiz. When I finally followed your “two step” process to go to something or other & “family parshah”, it didn’t take me there. I scroll down, past a large blank area, which takes me back to a previous page. My husband always has to “fiddle around” and manages to randomly locate it. We even had trouble locating the weekly parshah, at the beginning. Please fix this so that it is user-friendly! It looks organized, but we are not ‘getting to’ features listed, by direct one click. I would enjoy this site much more if it wasn’t so convoluted. Thank you. Elaine Contard Reply

I'm not sure if I ever achieved a 10/10 yet, probably not. This is a great way to keep learning and to remember. Thank you very much. I look forward to it every week. Reply

Excellent idea to have a quiz.
Like Goldilocks and the three bears:
Some too easy, some sort of difficult, some were just right. Reply

These quizzes are fantastic.
I've been doing them for years.
I think maybe once I received a 10, but I'm usually in the 8 or 9 range.

Technical questions:
1) I didn't notice it in Friday's web site, but then I got this emai, so all is good Was I missing it somehow?
2) I can get it only if I go to the web site with my Samsung phone.
I just checked it again: still not there: thank you for the email.
When I access it via the web using an Ipad, the quiz never shows up:
so I read it on the Ipad, then switch to the phone to take the quiz.
If I access it via my Mac, the quiz shows up.
Is there something in the coding that it only shows on certain device types/resolutions?

Religious questions:
Why is Pinchas referred to as Pinchas in Parshah Pinchas,
but referred to as Phinehas in the Parshah prior to that (Balak).
It's definitely the same person, and there's no mention of his name being changed for the heroic action he took.
Every year I've read this I wonder! Reply
