Last weekend was the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday, and in Neighbor Kelly’s family, tradition dictates that Yom Kippur should end with the blowing of a shofar (ram’s horn) from atop Bernal Hill.
This year, Neighbor Kelly’s oldest son Charlie made his shofar debut, and he did so in grand style:
Mazel tov!

Heart rendering- thank you.
If that little kid could make sound come out of that horn, he has a future in sound production.
Tuba, I’m thinking.
Mazel Tov, indeed! and a happy new year to all!
That top image is utterly EPIC.
Is it wrong that I’ve got the sax riff from Baker Street stuck in my head now?
Heard him from out house.
Fantastic!
l’shannah ha bah b’ bernal heights!!
