BROOKLYN, NY — Wall Street bailouts, iPhones, and stratospheric gas prices are bringing more marginally affiliated Jews to Rosh Hashanah services say rabbis across the United States.

Tough times draw larger crowds to the synagogue on the High Holidays, and Chabad representatives are aiming to attract even more by answering the call of the times and publicizing their prayer services using images ripped straight from the headlines and pop culture.

Stock Photo - Blowing Shofar

Sh’vorim-t’rua
1) In the main shofar blowing – before musaf – in the sequence of t’keeya-sh’vorim-t’rua-t’keeya, the sh’vorim-t’rua should be blown in a single breath. The same applies when one blows to enable someone else to fulfill the mitzva (such as at home for family members, or on mivtza’im).However the shofar which is blown by mussaf is done with a breath in between the sh’vorim-t’rua.
