If you’ve just arrived on this page, you are viewing it using a theme called fGala. On the right, you can choose a different one — some of us prefer “Dapit Hapon” (no, it’s not Hebrew, but Filipino!), while the first theme installed was “Pool.” Please comment with your favorite, and we’ll let the majority set the default!
Those familiar with wordpress themes are free to suggest alternatives, as well.

fGala is far superior in my view. I’d like to see something that is more Kosher – Blue/White – Jerusalem Gold –
As for the logo — I’m not an artist but my perception is the torah scrolls with Mt Sinai – and the torah leads us to a heaven of learning and understanding

For me, it is a tough choice between the fGala and the Dapit; both are very well done. Nice work! The Dapit Hapon appeals to my intellect, the fGala to my aesthetics. i am voting for the intellectual intrigue of the Dapon – it will remind me of the work i need to do daily so that i might continue to develop the ability to enjoy the aesthetics of Ha Shem’s work. Thank you, PG.

Well !!! I live in the desert. I have to vote for Dapit Hapon — HOWever: the font color must be adjusted for more contrast with the background as it is difficult to read. The desert too is intellectually more associatable (is that a word, or did I just coin it?) with our “Genisis” of 40 years in the desert and, as Hinda mention: Sinai. I do not mean to “dis” the fGala theme but the horizon is off. While I’m at it let’s increase the font size here for better readability.
More on a logo later

blix is very easy on the eye, a wash of color.It’s clean, neat and understated. I hate when the site overpowers the information.

I prefer the fGala, it’s aesthetically appealing, calm beauty, and the format is clear and easy to read.

the fGala is more pleasing to the eye, and I like the layout better.

While I love the sunset (sunrise?) photo on the Dapit Hapon theme, the fGala theme is the most appealing, easiest to read, nice layout. All around, it is far more pleasing to the eye. fGala wins it in my view, hands down!
Mazal tov on the new site!

I’ve been looking at the logo finalists and can’t make up my mind about the theme because the logo has to harmonize with the theme.

Both the fGala and Dapit Hapon are wonderful – but I do prefer the Dapit Hapon. The colors are easy on the eyes, and I like the layout.
Hopefully the new logo will compliment.

I happen to like the WordPress default theme. Its uncomplicated nature makes it easy to focus on the content. I also think it’s more classic and less distracting. Dapit Hapon is beautiful, but it looks like a phase someone would go through, and Torah is forever!
