DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

A strange sound has been echoing through our valley this past week as a ram's horn, called a shofar, an ancient bugle was being blown to remind all to repent. After its blowing the traditional saying of the Jewish New Year Holy Days is exchanged " Kotvenu b’sefer he-ḥayyim," “Inscribe us in the Book of Life” /“May you be written down and inscribed for a good year.”

Since we will not be able to celebrate with our community this year due to social distancing we were blessed and thankful to be able to hear the shofar in person twice this Hebrew month of Elul. Monday by our present spiritual leader, Brian, who came out to the End of the Rainbow Valley to blow the shofar yesterday and another video by our friend Ed. Enjoy.
