Look for these questions every week on Thursdays on the blog and in hardcopy in Maayanot. Learn through the parsha to find the answers. Anyone who fills in all the answers and submits a completed questionnaire on Monday will be entered into a raffle for a small prize which will be held every other week. You are welcome and encouraged to discuss the questions with your family at the Shabbos table, answer them on your own, or together with a friend. The key is to open up the Chumash and learn the parsha while looking for the answers!
