The Shofar's Final Note (Chautauqua, NY)
Members of Congregation Havurah, from Williamsville, NY, enjoying the long final note (called gadolah) on the shofar (ram’s horn), during Rosh Hashanah services. The shofar blower is attempting to hold the note as long as possible. The photo was taken at the Chautauqua Institution, where Congregation Havurah held its Rosh Hashanah retreat in September, 2005.
