Breaking fast together (bukber) is one of the moments that awaited many people. In the month of Ramadan, the agenda for breaking the fast together neatly arranged, whether it is done with family, friends, school friends, office friends, friends arisa, n or recitation friends. The place is also different, starting in restaurants, eating places, or other places that provide menus for breaking the fast.

Of the many schedules that have lined up, breaking the fast is used as a venue for reunions. Get close to people who have rarely been accosted, greet, or break away from routine. Although this seems to have become commonplace and classic made as an excuse. The question in mind is, is that all we can get from the pleasure of breaking the fast?

Dr. Anne K. Fishel revealed the various benefits of eating with family in general. The habit of eating together can reduce the number of substance abuse and levels of depression in adolescents, as well as improve the psychological situation of children that affect academic grades. When eating together, of course there is a conversation in it. This is also called being able to trigger children who are learning to speak or read to master the vocabulary faster.

When parents serve food from their own kitchen at the time of a meal together, children can absorb the tradition from the plate of food they eat. The recipe is one of the family's cultural heritages that can be attached to everyone's mind and this varies from house to house. In addition, Robin Fox, Anthropology lecturer at Rutgers University, New Jersey, stated that eating with family teaches children to become members of society and culture.

Values and norms can be transferred by adults at the dinner table, either through direct conversations or small actions such as praying together, pouring dishes to the plates of other family members, or thanking mothers who make food.

Family meals are also a great place to pass on internal history to children. This becomes significant for the psychological development of the child because it relates to the way of self-assessment of the introduction of family roots, aka self-historization.

What about the benefits of breaking fast with friends? The moment that is often identified with this reunion event also seems to bring a number of positive impacts for friends. During a reunion, someone will access nostalgia with their friends. Different from trauma, nostalgia usually includes sweet events in the past that are meaningful to one's life until they cannot be forgotten.

The benefits of nostalgia itself can make someone more optimistic about his life. Nostalgia can also be used to combat negative mental states such as feelings of loneliness, failure, or loss of purpose in life. Beautiful memories that came out during a reunion can make someone realize that they are valuable or meaningful to others.

While from another perspective, breaking the fast together also has other benefits. This gathering should also be used to compete in goodness with collective worship activities, such as collecting zakat, takjil, and distributing it to people in need.
