Call of the Shofar

Call of the Shofar

Prepare for the High Holidays with the Call of the Shofar. Throughout the month of Elul, we look forward to sounding the shofar and sharing inspiration with each other. Volunteer to blow shofar or share a prayer with our community.

Submissions are due by July 30 and will be shared in daily emails Sunday-Friday throughout the month of Elul. All ages are encouraged to participate and you are welcome to participate in both the shofar and share a prayer. We hope that you will add your voice to our Call of the Shofar to help us usher in a meaningful 5782. Learn more below.

Sound the Shofar

Shofar Blowers Needed

Throughout the month of Elul, we sound the shofar to awaken ourselves to the coming New Year. Help us sound the shofar daily in our community by submitting a video of yourself blowing shofar.

Please email Erin Dreyfuss to join our list of shofar blowers.

Share a Prayer

Your Reflections Needed
