happy new jewish year everyone!
a few days ago a new jewish calendar year started, and it's the 5763red year since the creation of the world! (by tradition of course). I spent the holyday in the genesis festival (a spiritual festival with lots of didgeridoos  ).
in this holyday people eat apples dipped with honey (no idea why  ), fish heads (symbolises the will to be the ahead in the new year), and pomegranates (symbolises the will to be full of good deeds and wisdom like a pomegranate is full of kernels). in the end of the special prare in the sinagog the rabi blows in and instrument made of goat's horn called shofar, that symbolises the secrefice of Izaac. I think shofar is played like didgeridoo. |

That's very interesting, Didgin! Happy new yewish year to you, too!  Have you ever tried to play that shofar? Does it sound like a didgeridoo or what is the difference?

no, I did not tried to play a shofar. I have no idea where to by one and I don't think any rabi will let met use his shofar. however, a friend talled me that like in didges and brass instruments, you put your lips inside the mouthhole and not on it, bot it's avery small mouthhole so it's hard to play. it does not sound at all like didge, it's a high, strong soprano tune.

Thanks to the Jewish culture for putting a New Year just where you do not expect one!
Digdin  , I like it when you tell us about your country and your traditions. It makes me travelling without moving  . |
