We’re getting ready to start the New Year off on the right note. Confused? Let’s explain. September 23, 2025, corresponds to the Tishrei 1, 5786 in the Jewish Calendar, a holiday called Rosh Hashanah (literally Head of the Year). We hope you can join us at 12:30 for a lecture and a live demonstration of the shofar, one of the world’s oldest instruments in continued usage. The Jewish people have been using the shofar as a call to spiritually prepare for their holiest day, Yom Kippur, for over 3,000 years. We’ll comprehensively explore the shofar – its religious meaning, history, manufacture, and modern-day usage.
