Blow, baby, blow. The National Jewish Outrach Program is sponsoring a shofar blowing contest with the winners getting a trip to Israel.

NJOP INVITES YOU TO BLOW US AWAY!

Video-taped entries will be judged based on clarity of sound, accuracy based on Jewish law, length of blast, and overall performance. The contest is open to both professional and amateur shofar-blowers. Five finalists will be selected to participate in the Great Shofar Blast-Off in New York City in September of 2005. The grand prize winner will receive a trip for two to Israel, and potential national media coverage.
