Toronto Mayor Tries His Hand at Blowing Shofar

It was a special, warm pre-Rosh Hashana event on Monday at Toronto City Hall, hosted by the Mayor, John Tory, Councillor James Pasternak, Rabbi Yirmi Cohen and Rabbi Chai Cohen, attended by many from the community.

They spoke about Rosh Hashana, the meaning of the Shofar, and the officials wished the entire Jewish Community a sweet new year.

The Mayor did a marvelous job blowing the Shofar, Rabbi Cohen reports.
