Rooftop shofar provides pandemic listening

Rabbi Seth Adelson of Congregation Beth Shalom blows a shofar from the roof of the synagogue’s early learning center, Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2020, in Squirrel Hill South. The horn is typically blown during weekday morning prayer in the month leading up to Rosh Hashanah, but since services moved online due to the pandemic, Rabbi Adelson’s effort provided an opportunity for those wanting to hear the shofar in person.
