Tekiah!

Hey gang. Just popping in for a quick second between the post-Tashlich honey and challah party (where I scored recipes for lasagna and baklava made with maztah– Hi, guess what will be on the menu for my seder this year??) and before I dash off to a bris in a few minutes, to bring you a little 411 on the shofar. (I, Amy Guth, fully admit that I got blinky and welled-up this morning when the shofar was sounded. I love the shofar.)

First, let's call this our baseline shofar blast clip. Then, please watch the most wonderfully, heartwarmingly cheesy video ever. How coked out funny is that kid? Speaking of the shofar, it has come to my attention that some speaking-in-tongues types-events have started using shofarot during services and they get played all cheesebag super-serious and more like French horn. Or, maybe it's not a new thing at all but I'm just now hearing about it. Whatevs. See eerily dull shofar here that seems churchishe (I'm a dick, I know, I know, but c'mon, it does! Nothing wrong with church, it just seems weird to see a shofar, something that feels so Jewish to me in the deep sparks of my being.) and completely foreign-to-me shofar hoedown shouting "Praise Jesus" here. (Not that there is anything wrong with having JC as your homeboy, if that's your bag) Anyway, shofar in churches? Discuss.

I was trying to explain to a few non-MOTs that I know what it's like in shul when the shofar is played. I said it's more like this, but indoors and with this kind of milling-around chaos and less shrieking.

Okay, I need to motor if I'm going to make that bris.

Shanah Tovah!

I mean, I know it was my choice to learn, but I really thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you could possibly repair if you happen to werent too busy on the lookout for attention.
