Shofar Factory - CBS

http://JewishChildren.com




The Shofar Factory is a hands-on workshop for the young and the young at heart. Once the exhibit of horned animals and necessary tools are set up, experienced craftsmen guide children through the step-by-step process of crafting a raw ram's horn into an authentic shofar. The show-and-tell challenges the participants to recognize a kosher shofar from an extensive collection of horns of exotic animals from all over the world.

Once the work begins, volunteers are called up to separate the shofar from the core, clean and measure the cured horn. Volunteers then saw off the solid end of the shofar and help to drill the mouthpiece.

Once the horn is cleared, tested and polished, the delighted participants learn how to blow the shofar. An optional do-it-yourself segment of the workshop allows older participants to hand-craft their own shofars in less than 45 minutes. (Limited by safety considerations, maturity level, & manual dexterity of participants.) Both fun and educational, each show-and-tell presentation can accommodate up to 60 participants in about an hour.

Like the other popular Traditional Crafts of the Jewish People series this workshop travels right to you. The Shofar Factory runs from late summer until Rosh Hashana and is guaranteed to inspire your students about our rich heritage. Reserve now to bring this exciting hands-on exhibit to your school, synagogue or camp.
