Thanks to my brain not working I forgot people may not know what a Shofar is (thanks S). Here is the Wikipedia information (with a great photo of one) to give the significance of the item to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipppur.

Thursday night my grandmother gave NHL this:

It’s a seemingly harmless plastic shofar for kids. Uncle I and Aunt M had given him one in the past. He loves them, but man can it be LOUD and annoying.

Here is a video of NHL using his shofar as JL says the calls that they do when they sound the shofar:

So that is the beautiful shofar. Next Saturday evening after Yom Kippur there is a service where I believe there will be at least 6 shofars out in all area of our synagogue. They sound together and it’s an amazing experience.

L’Shana Tova to all of my Jewish friends.

Thanks to Rosh Hashana I have not blogged. So now that the holiday is over NHL has a message. This message is from my new digital camera that I ordered Wednesday night and came via UPS today. Check it out: 

For those of you that would like a translation of hyper over-tired 4 year old he’s saying "Shofar! Shofar!" and later tells me "Rosh Hashana"

Oh and in the background is JL yelling "Oh no!" since Mt. JSL exploded at the changing table. The poor monkey must be teething and has WAY too much saliva for his own good. So the video was cut short to go and help JL.
