    A group of U.S. Navy personnel in camouflage uniforms (NWU Type III) are gathered along a rocky waterfront, likely on a military installation. A civilian or chaplain in a white robe and kippah (Jewish skullcap) is blowing what appears to be a shofar, suggesting this is a Jewish religious observance, possibly a Tashlich ceremony performed near water during the High Holy Days. The overcast weather and waterfront setting with cranes visible in the background suggest a naval base environment.

    PORTSMOUTH, Va. (Oct. 8, 2019) Lt. Yonatan Warren, a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) training resident chaplain, blows a shofar during Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s (NMCP) first Jewish Pre-Yom Kippur (Yoom Keep-poor) service on Oct. 8. Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, when Jews are closest to God and most connected to the essence of their souls. It’s the holiest day of the year, when Jews come together, fasting and praying as one. (U.S Navy photo by Electronics Technician 2nd Class Dakotah A. Hendricks/Released)
