Jewish Holidays Rabbi Neal Borovitz of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation here, sounds the shofar, heralding the arrival of the Jewish High Holidays. The shofar, or Ram's Horn, is an ancient symbol which is blown on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Traditionally, no member of the Jewish household, man or woman, was permitted to taste food at noon on Rosh Hashanah unless he or she had heard the shofar. For people confined to their beds or who are confined to a hospital, the shofar is carried to the sick room and blown in private homes or in the hospital room. The shofar is also blown on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, concluding the Ten Days of Penitence. Yom Kippur begins Friday at sundown.

For Yom Kippur: Worshippers at Yom Kippur services at Beth Israel Community Center are accustomed to these items of religious significance. Af left is a prayer book in Hebrew and English, lying atop the talis, or stoll, worn by males at all services. Resting on the book is a velvet pouch for the talis. At center is the Scroll of the Five Books of Moses, written by hand on parchment. With it is an ornamental breastplate on which the 10 Commandments are written. To the right are "the hand," a silver pointer used in reading the scroll, a white skullcap worn by males and the shofar, or ram's horn, sounded at the end of Yom Kippur. The cap's color signifies purity, sought by man during the Holy Days.
