A wonderful new app, developed by the Saber Team, with the objective of bringing the daily Chitas to life. This app covers the questions for the daily (and weekly) Chumash portions with Rashi. How it works: Each day, after learning the daily Chumash portion, the user should log into the app and take the daily test. Each daily portion has test questions. There is only one correct answer, and the answer is strictly based on the Torah portion as explained by Rashi. Please note: There may be several correct answers to any given answer. The correct answer is the answer that is based on Rashi's interpretation of that portions Torah text. Other interpretations, even a Rashi from elsewhere in the Torah, should not be clicked when attempting to score high on the daily test. The IOS version of this app is dedicated in loving memory of Shaina Bracha bas Shmuel and Mordechai Tzvi ben Yitzchok.
