What is a shofar? by Rabbi Mendy Hecht A. A Shofar (pronounced SHOW-fur) is perhaps the oldest wind instrument known to man. Made of the hollowed horn of an animal, usually a ram, it is blown on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, the month of Elul, and by some Chassidic groups on Hoshanah Rabbah. Shofars are generally beige in color and around 1.5 feet long with a half-spiral at the far end, though some can be very long, twisted, and/or dark in color. A shofar is not a musical instrument; the shofar-blower can only control the number, length and clarity of the notes sounded, not the key or pitch. B. The shofar’s haunting, otherworldly wail symbolizes the plaintive call of the innocent soul. It is blown during Elul to arouse one to self-reflection, on Rosh Hashanah to inaugurate G-d as King of the Universe, and on Yom Kippur to cap off the day as it surmounts its spiritual peak. Parents As Partners When parents get involved good things happen. The after school drum class is treated to a demonstration of a new instrument that is made from an animals horn. Everyone in the class was treated to a unique solo on this super animal horn. Our teachers have integrating science and mathematics into our new after school music program. We are using the new program called Database Projects for Kids-Mathematics. Students are making original instruments and learning about all the mathematics that is involved in making a set of drums.  We should do everything possible to invite parents to be our partners.  The Special Education Parent Action Reseach Page We want to work with parents on some special projects.
