shofar making


Kobi Schindler 10,  saws and antler while Zoharia Lev Drizin 8, both of Oak Park, Ill. watches during a shofar-making workshop put on by the Chabad Jewish Center of Oak Park and River Forest on Sunday, September 21, 2008.  A shofar is a horn that is constructed out of antlers from animals such as goats, rams and sheep.  The shofar is used in the Jewish faith as a sound to start the new year of Rosh Hashanah which begins October 1st.
