(ToldotYisrael) The inspiring story of the young men who blew the shofar at the Western Wall in Jerusalem each year on Yom Kippur from 1930 to 1947 as part of the modern struggle for the rebirth of the Jewish people. Under a British law passed in 1930, Jews in Palestine were forbidden to blow the shofar at the Western Wall, pray loudly there, or bring Torah scrolls, so as not to offend the Arab population. Despite this, for the next 17 years, the shofar was sounded each year, as brave teenagers defiantly blew them at the conclusion of the fast. Some were captured and sent to jail for up to six months. Six of these men returned to the scene of their "crime" where they recounted their stories. 2010-09-08 08:59:28Full Article
