After a two hour conversation on a range of issues, he was offered to perform the blasting of the Shofar, a ritual performed by orthodox Jews during the month leading up to Rosh Hashanah. Although it was the first time the Senator was introduced to this tradition, the senator took the hollowed horn of the ram and with no rehearsal was able to blow consecutive blasts as a pro.
Those gathered were surprised and amazed at the Senator’s talent.”

is this our new mitzva
What baloney. You call that as a pro?
Maybe not bad for an inexperienced beginner, but that is not professional level, no way.
What is he looking that much Like ZAMIL use to say: a Shofar is a Shofar!!!
No matter how well he blows the shofer, he still has a serious anger managment issue and a pending criminal case because if it.
I always knew that Parker can blow up I didn’t know he can blow a shofar as well
Yeps! Mr Comptroller baked Matzho now blowing shofer Obama lighting Hanuka candles Tomorrow another politician will Dance Simchas torah with the Tora what a hickory?
He’ll never blow the shoifer. A horn, maybe. Not a shoifer.
אשרי העם יודעי תרועה
There are still (plenty of) tricks left in the bag. We barely scratched the surface. In order to woo politicians we sometimes make a comedy of the Torah. There could be a great Photo Op with a politician (putting on a Yarmulka is optional.) shaking the Lulav. One day we’ll have the privilege of seeing a political candidate affix a Mezuzah to a doorpost. On the proficiency of the Hon. Senator Kevin Parker’s Shofar blowing, he gets a C-. Btw. Mr. Rapaport’s organization is a highly worthy cause. I witnessed Firsthand the great way the entire staff goes about doing this great Mitzvah.
I actually find this very funny and for those of you that say only because he is a politician and its bluff. Who cares. At least he knows that he has to bluff. All these other politicians are not even bluffing. Kevin parker is getting my vote just because of this and I am also impressed by the fact that he came to meet with 50 boro park heimisha people not all these baloney askonim and manchers that think they represent the entire boro park
