Brachot--Masters of 5774
by Rabbi Binyamin Yablok, [email protected]
Bracha Bee 5774 took place this week, in front of an audience of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. There was much enthusiasm, cheering, and posters encouraging our contestants. Finalists have been preparing for several weeks, as the event had been postponed due to weather. Packets were studied, questions were asked, parents were intrigued, and many Brachot were learned. After a solid hour of questioning, FIVE students remained in contention
and so were all declared winners!
Congratulations to them, their teachers, and families for this great achievement.
May the Brachot our children utter bring in turn Brachot from Shamayim to them and
their families. Mazal Tov!
