Shofar blowers from Paris to Los Angeles to New Zealand to a kibbutz in Israel blow the shofar to welcome the new Jewish year. Watch this remarkable video here.
The shofar is a ram’s horn blown on Rosh Hashanah, during the Hebrew month of Elul, and at the conclusion of Yom Kippur. Jews believe that hearing the sound of the shofar is a reminder to prepare for the new year and a call for introspection about the past year and what we want to do better in the year ahead.
