	Great Quiz! (I just wanted to make this one :) ). A few suggestions: 1.Accept more alternative spellings: With or without double letters(pp, kk), with q or k, with or without an apostrophe, etc. 2.Accept the Hebrew spelling: חנוכה, פסח, יום כיפור, etc. 3.Add the Israeli Holidays: Yom Haatsmaut, Yom Hazikaron, Yom Hashoa. Thanks

	Great quiz - timely, too! Agree with marnavot's suggestions above.

	Christopher Guest would be very upset if he knew I missed Purim.

	Lag BaOmer isn't the time of counting days - it's in the middle of Sefirat HaOmer, which is the time of counting days. Also maybe accept Yom Kippor (with the o) and Succot (with the c). Otherwise, great quiz! :)

	I like this quiz, but the spelling can definitely be tricky. I've always spelled "Hanukkah" with a Ch or Hannukah. I don't think it really matters since it's in english - it can kind of go any which way. So you should definitely make alternative spellings acceptable.

	I agree with shanz - its sphirat haomer! I also found some of the spellings annoying.

	It took me way too long to find a "Hanukkah" spelling it liked. :/

	Nice quiz, definitely add Yom Hashoa though, I tried it before reading any of the clues and was sad to see it wasn't on here. xD

	@andrewsaurus: Yom HaShoah isn't a Jewish holiday. It isn't in Tanach, it isn't in the Talmud. It is a very contemporary holiday (or whatever you want to call it) and is not observed by all Jews- not because they don't care but because they feel you shouldn't need a special day for it; you should remember it all the time. I personally feel the same way.
