Discover the Sounds of the Shofar
2025-09-07 09:00 - 10:00 (US/Eastern) | Simon Hall
Join us for an adventure into one of Judaism’s most powerful symbols. In this hour-long workshop, you will:

Learn some little known shofar facts including how a shofar is made and which animals’ horns may become shofarot.
Create your own smaller shofar from an authentic horn. We will carefully be using a saw and drill (with expert guidance) to shape our own shofarot!
Learn how to blow a shofar and experiment with traditional calls!

Whether you’re 6 or 96, this experience will deepen your connection to the High Holy Days and leave you with a meaningful keepsake—and maybe even a new skill!
All TBS shofar blowers – experienced and new! – are welcome be with us for our final Yom Kippur Service (“Ne’ilah”) (Thursday, October 2nd at 6:00 pm) and usher in the new year by participating in the final blast of the shofar!
