New features added to the Bible Quiz site (with 4,327 questions)



Hi Everyone!

This week, I launched an upgraded version of my educational website:
The Bible Quiz
www.bible-quiz.co.il

The quiz has 4,327 multiple choice questions about the 5 books of Moses and the Prophets. Both kids and adults will find the quiz educational and entertaining.

All questions include the source of the question and answer. You can share the site or individual questions via social media buttons on each page.
The site works on popular computer platforms including smart phones.

For teachers, there is a print function to create and print weekly offline parsha quizes. I also added the new print function to the Jewish Trivia Quiz at:
www.jewish-trivia.com
and the Diabetes Quiz at:
www.diabetes.co.il

Feedback is welcome!

Please share these educational resources. Thank you!

Have a good day,
