Pre High Holiday Family Fun at the Pelham Art Center

In preparation for the Jewish new year, children will play a special role in ushering in the High Holidays by crafting their very own ram’s horn instrument, known as the “Shofar”, at Chabad’s “Shofar Factory” on Sunday September 21st, at the Pelham Art Center.

The children--with appropriate adult supervision--will help to cure, measure, saw, drill, and polish a real ram’s horn to transform it into a working Shofar instrument. When the horns are complete, participants will learn how to perform the traditional sequence of notes sounded on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. This unique event brings children together for a hands on, exciting educational journey exploring the history and significance of holiday and the shofar.
