CHILDREN, COME BLOW YOUR HORN
At the eighth annual Shofar Festival and Parade, created for children ages 3 to 8 and their families, youngsters decorate their own shofars, the rams’ horns blown on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur as a call of repentance to its listeners, and learn how to blow them. After listening to stories about Rosh Hashana, visitors of all ages are invited to show off and play their newly decorated shofars in a parade through The Jewish Museum’s art galleries, concluding with the trumpeting of all the shofars.
The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave.; Sept. 21, festival 1 p.m., parade 3:30 p.m.; $10, $7.50 students and seniors, free children under 12, shofar decorating $3. (212-423-3200 or www.thejewishmuseum.org)
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
