About the Course
The central observance of Rosh Hashanah is hearing the shofar. This year, many of us will not be able to attend synagogue services and will be blowing the shofar at home. This course will provide you with practical tips and mystical insights to fulfill this mitzvah an optimal manner, so you can blow at home, and blow everyone away.
Course syllabus
In this class, we'll cover how to select a shofar, the dos and don’ts of blowing, how to position it and how to breathe.
|
In class two, we’ll learn about when it can be blown and who can blow it. We’ll dive into how long each shofar blast needs to be and what it needs to sound like, and of course, we’ll walk you through the proper blowing sequence, let’s begin.
|
In our final class, we’ll look at the mystical and spiritual elements of the shofar. What does its call represent? What does it remind us to do? What does it accomplish in the celestial spheres? Ready? Here we go.
