The boys of 6B2 have saved the day- and not just any day... Yom Kippur! After learning the halachot of the mitzvah d'rabanan of Me'ah Brachot B'Yom (the rabbinic obligation to say at least one-hundred blessings a day), the students recognized that since so many of our daily blessings are food related, reaching the goal of one-hundred brachot would not come easily over the course of a 25 hour fast. The students were further troubled by the idea that since the goal of this special mitzvah (as related by the Rambam) is to fill our days with constant recognition of Hashem, how can we not do this on the holiest of days?
To help resolve the challenge, the heroic students of 6B2 stepped in to save the day. They each created a cinnamon stick b'samim packet with the appropriate bracha to share with their families and community members on Yom Kippur. By sharing the bsamim on multiple occasions over the yom tov, the boys not only brought their brachot count closer to one-hundred, but helped others achieve this as well. At their respective Seudot Hamafseket, each student raised the challenge of achieving this mitzvah on Yom Kippur and assured their families that they would be their to save the day. Jeremy, as seen below, was especially SUPER in showing his family how committed he was to help them achieve this mitzvah. Kol hakavod, 6B2!
