Last week was Shavuot. ( Shavuout )
Yesterday was Cambridge Limmud. Limmud is a conference of Jewish education, open to non academics and non Jews and anyone who is interested.
( Some stuff about talks, some stuff about what the children did )
Yesterday was also Father's Day. Morning prayer hymn of the day was my Daddy's favourite, in some kind of 'coincidences happen' thing, and we came home and ate pizza, I set some icecream on fire, and the children and Daddy ended the day playing Skylanders.

So, Colin said I could have a shofar. I think it's a technique, he agrees to any random request I make and then I go 'oh, I can't possibly that's far too random' instead of 'but why can't I have *whatever*?'.

Anyway, on this case I actually went so far as to look up shofars.

This one has a plastic mouthpiece to make it easier to play, does that make it bad and wrong? I'm thinking I might be able to remove the mouthpiece.

Otherwise they cost almost £25!

Unrelatedly:

I read that playing cards might contain gelatine. Would my Jewish bridge playing friends prefer if I bought kosher playing cards? Snopes also doesn't speak on the subject.

Would anyone like my flugel-bugel? It's a weird brass instrument in G which I can't play. A proper trumpet player with a trumpet mouthpiece can get a truly terrifying sound from it, though.
