MRT's Web Treasure Hunt !

This Treasure Hunt will help you learn more about our temple, about Reform Judaism, and about their websites.

Each of the following questions contains a link to a website where you can find the correct answer. When you think you know the answer, click on the appropriate choice. When you have answered as many questions as you can, provide the information requested at the bottom of the page and click on "How did I do?" You will then find out how many you got right.

This is not a contest; it is an opportunity to learn. So ask for help from others, and learn together.
