Poway Rabbi Wants Kids to Skip School
North County Times
Rabbi Mendy Rubenfeld, youth director at Chabad of Poway, San Diego County, demonstrates how to play a note on the shofar, a traditional Jewish instrument made from a ram’s horn and key to the religion’s holidays, during a workshop at the Altman Family Chabad Community Center.
Just before sundown on Monday, dozens of children on the back patio of the Altman Family Chabad Community Center were carrying around ram’s horns, working sandpaper across the rough shell or trying to blow a note, any note, through their new shofars.
