Blowing the Shofar on the New Year 80 Years Ago
- Israel Daily Picture
"Blow the
Shofar at the New Moon...Because It Is a Decree for Israel, a Judgment Day for
the God of Jacob" - Psalms
81
Jews around the world prepare for Rosh Hashanna next week, the festive New Year holiday when the shofar -- ram's horn -- is blown in synagogues.
The American Colony photographers recorded a dozen pictures of Jewish elders blowing the shofar in Jerusalem some 80 years ago. The horn was also blown in Jerusalem to announce the commencement of the Sabbath. During the month prior to Rosh Hashana, the shofar was blown at daily morning prayers to encourage piety before the High Holidays.
