In preparation for Rosh Hashanah, Steven Goldstein and Rabbi Steve Greenberg are teaming up to teach a Shofar Blowing Class! The shofar is presented as a wordless prayer and wake-up call, reminding us that our lives, actions, and relationships matter because God is King and holds us accountable. Rosh Hashanah begins a three-part spiritual journey: awakening and self-reflection, followed by the repentance of Yom Kippur, and ultimately the reunification and joy of Sukkot. The shofar’s three sounds—tekiah, shevarim, and teruah—express different forms of human emotion, from an awakening call to groaning, brokenness, and crying out to God for compassion.
