Greenfield Hebrew Academy has announced the release of a Brachot (Blessing) app for Droid phones.

Rachel Buckman’s fourth-grade Chumash classes came up with the idea for the free app, which helps find the appropriate blessing for a number of different foods. Students generated a list of 150 foods and the school’s Technology Department learned how to program the app.

To download the app: https://market.android.com/details?id=appinventor.ai_Jonfarazmand.GHA_Brachot&feature=search_result.
