PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL [CHI] — Chabad at the Beaches hosted a cultural fair Sunday, it offered adults and children alike the opportunity to get into the spirit of the High Holidays in a hands-on, fun and entertaining way. Over 65 people attended. The High Holiday Family Fair, was held at Chabad at the Beaches’ Center for Jewish Life, 521 A1A North Ponte Vedra Beach.

One popular and fascinating feature of the Fair was the Shofar Factory. Participants saw how a ram’s horn is cured, carefully measured, sawed, drilled, and polished. The result was a Shofar. When the Shofar was complete, participants then learned how to blow it and sound the traditional notes.
