“Know Your Brochos!” is a set of 54 cards, created by Rabbi Moshe Wiener, which children collect and trade among each other, working to get a full set. Each card features a picture of a certain food along with its Brocha and after-Brocha. On the back of the cards are interesting facts about the food as well as different Halachos and Torah concepts.
The boys are able to earn Brochos cards from their Melamed or Menahal in many different ways, such as saying a nice, clear brocha or showing good behavior. It is so beautiful to hear boys saying Brochos out loud and making sure that they say the correct Brocha on a particular food.
The boys are very excited and involved in the program. There are many goals imbedded into this Brochos program. First and foremost is bringing an awareness and enthusiasm for saying Brochos. The children should also learn the correct Brochos to specific foods, in a visual way. So far, we are seeing much success with these goals.
In the merit of all the beautiful Brochos being said by the children, may we merit the coming of Moshiach!
