The children will find the quotation easier to memorize if they understand it well. It is recommended, therefore, that you spend some time discussing the meaning of the words and phrases with them. “Blessed is he who preferreth his brother before himself.” When going over the meaning of the quote you could have a banana and an apple & ask the children to choose the 'preferred' fruit.
