Shofar FlashMob Around The World

HUFFINGTON POST

NEW YORK - With one simple command -- Tekiah! -- came the shofar heard 'round the world. On Sunday (Sept. 18), horn-blowing participants in 17 cities pulled off the first-ever "Shofar FlashMob," organized by Art Kibbutz New York, an international Jewish artist colony. During Elul, the month of preparation before the Jewish High Holidays, Jews are called to teshuvah (repentance/reflection/return) before the new year, and the shofar is a daily wake-up call. From Lincoln Center in Manhattan to Wrigley Field in Chicago and Ben Yehudah Street in Jerusalem, the flashmob took the Jewish practice of blowing a ram's horn to a new creative -- and spiritual -- level.
