Col. Steven Bernstein, from St. Louis, Mo., sounds the ram's horn, also known as a shofar in Hebrew, after a Rosh Hashanah service, Sept. 20. The shofar was sounded two days after the celebration of Rosh Hashanah, as the horn is not sounded on the Sabbath. "It brings back memories with my orthodox grandfather who first taught me how to blow shofar," said Bernstein, a flight surgeon, assigned to the 227th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade. Celebrating the Jewish New Year has been a good opportunity to remember the important things and think more profoundly about life, spirituality, friends and health, he said.
