Hilchot Brachot at YCQ

Students at the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) concluded two weeks of intensive study with a Bracha Bee. The event marked the finale of a brachot unit that launched on Tu B’Shvat.

Grades 1 through 8 participated in a series of Kahoot games to crown class winners after studying hilchot brachot in great detail. These digital competitions challenged students to quickly identify the correct brachot and halachot for various items.

The interactive format turned the traditional classroom setting into an arena of friendly competition and collective learning.

Congratulations go to classes 1-203, 2-205, 3-21, 4-304, and 5-302, and to Erez Cohen and Avigail Cohen in the Junior High School.

The week also featured hands-on activities like pizza making to learn more about the difference between hamotzi and mezenot, and class brachot parties, which allowed students to apply their knowledge in a social setting while enjoying a wide variety of foods.

Junior High School students showcased their creativity through a door decorating competition where each classroom entrance was themed around a specific bracha.

In addition to the internal celebrations, the school organized a food drive to collect items for those in need.
