Nothing says Mischpacha Monday like the whole Lower Division gathering together to hear Mr. Mike and Morah Elaina blow the shofar! đŻ
Throughout the month of Elul, our LD students start their mornings with this centuries-old Jewish traditionâand if youâve ever heard a shofar up close, you know itâs a pretty effective way to get everyoneâs attention.
Elul is the Hebrew month leading up to Rosh Hashanah, traditionally a time to pause, reflect on the year behind us, and think intentionally about the year ahead. The daily sounding of the shofar serves as a kind of wake-up callâa reminder to look inward and begin preparing for the new year.
đŻ At DJDS, itâs also one more way Jewish learning and tradition come to life. Our students donât just learn about Elul and the shofarâthey hear it, experience it, and gather together as a community to take part in a tradition shared across generations.
A pretty meaningful way to start the morningâand the new yearâtogether.
