The shofar is used during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur
My last trip to the Jewish Children’s Museum in Brooklyn took place between Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur, and included time exploring an exhibit titled “Jewish Holidays.”
It’s located on the museum’s third floor, which features an “Exploring Jewish Life” theme. Other exhibits in this part of the museum include “6 Days of Creation,” “Shabbat,” “Kosher Supermarket,” “Kosher Kitchen” and “World of Good.”
As Jews the world over celebrate Yom Kippur, it’s an especially fitting day for others to pause and learn more about Jewish faith and traditions.
Enjoy these photos from the museum’s “Jewish Holidays” exhibit…
