Echo of the Shofar Eerie & timely, should be viewed by all who are moved by the sound of the shofar. This year, I shall be blowing the shofar for the brave men who did not let the Kotel remain silent when the Jews had no sure future yet still pray & hope. To those six men still among us: I hope you can hear me in California. I shall blast with all my heart in gratitude & remember G-d's promise to us all. Reply
