Every wondered how a Shofar is made? The Shofar is an instrument crafted from a ram’s horn and is used as the highlight of the Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur Service. Its sounds are simple, but its manufacturing is a complex process.
During the Shofar Factory Presentation, participants will help saw, drill, polish, and shellac a ram’s horn to create a genuine kosher Shofar, as well as gain new insight and significance of the Shofar and its role during the High Holiday season.
The presentation includes visual aids, storytelling and lots of hands-on fun! This program makes for a great learning and educational experience for children and adults alike!
After the presentation each child will receive their very own raw ram’s horn and get to turn it into a real Shofar themselves, cutting it, drilling the hole, sanding it smooth, and applying shellac to finish it off. It’s an exciting, hands-on experience where kids become the Shofar makers!
