As a service to the likely many elderly and sick who are not able to leave their homes to hear shofar on Rosh Hashana, we had an idea that we would create a list of those who would be willing to blow shofar for these people in the community.
Once we have received some volunteers we would then share these names with the public on LJN and then they could be contacted and arrangements be made to facilitate these home visits. Ideally one should contact their shul first, so this service would be most focused on those who are not affiliated or the shul cannot accommodate.
So if you would like to volunteer, email info@LocalJewishNews.com and indicate where you live, when you can do it, and how far you are willing to walk. Even better, if you would like to volunteer to become a “shadchan” for this project, let us know.
