I still haven’t exactly figured out what a flash mob is, a bunch of people around the world doing something in public at the same time – so is every person in the world riding a bike or walking down the street having a flash mob unknowingly? Is everyone being publicly embarrassed part of the public shame flash mob, what about the chabad tefillin on the street flash mob? I guess it has to be scheduled and this coming Sunday in San Francisco, there will be a Shofar Blowing flash mob in Alamo Square.
Already, even more ironic is that they priginally wanted to do it in Harvey Milk plaza in the Castro – I would pay to see a gay shofar blowing flash mob – I can and will continue to point out the Freudian sex stuff that is what we call the high holidays and the shofar doesn’t escape this ire. So I guess a bunch of people with nothing to do at 10am this Sunday will be blowing the shofar in San Francisco – chabad better get in on this piece of kiruv action and I wonder if enough people to count as a mobv in SF can actually blow the shofar. Can you imagine is a bunch of people who had no idea how to blow the shofar decided to have a wheezing shofar flash mob – that would suck almost as much as the wheezing shofar blower in the middle of a nusach-ari Rosh Hashanah musaf.
Join a global project at the nexus of sound, spirit and technology! On September 18th, Art Kibbutz NYC will host the greatest Shofar-blowing event since Sinai, a worldwide happening that takes the Jewish tradition of sounding the Shofar daily during the Hebrew month of Elul…and gives it a 21st century, postmodern twist.
I can already tell by the language that this event isn’t frum…and pretty left wing, frummies don’t use the words nexus, worldwide and post modern.
Join a large group of volunteers on September 18th who will blow the shofar together at a designated public space for 2 minutes as a call for teshuvah (repentance). This is the first-ever Flash Mob utilizing a Shofar. Your action will be synchronized with other FlashMob teams around the world. This creative event will be documented and incorporated into a Rosh Hashana electronic greeting card. This is your chance to learn how to use the instrument and make a tekiah gedolah (huge blast) that will rouse the heavens, and make Jews around the world, the international media and passers-by tremble.
I’d love to give you a tekiah gedolah anytime…I kind of like it – worldwide call to teshuvah, I wonder if Rabbi Yehuda Levin will be there?

“so is every person in the world riding a bike or walking down the street having a flash mob unknowingly?” LOL a flash mob is when people do something very out of the ordinary, like do the dance to “Beat it” (see youtube for several of these), AND, a flash mob is done by many people in the same place and at the same time
Flash Moab
“I can already tell by the language that this event isn?t frum?and pretty left wing, frummies don?t use the words nexus, worldwide and post modern.”

tznius alert! men who watch the youtube video linked above must close their eyes from 1:46-1:49, no cheating
I actually saw this when i was in israel, a couple of times. Once on rosh chodesh av, in middle of the summer, they parked a white van near the bank in the middle of Ben Yehudah street. Mounted to the top were speakers, and a small dance floor. The Breslovers danced around the van and on top, while the music blared. It was nice. But it can’t be called a flash mob. You need much more people for that, and they should also arrive at the scene separately. Oh, and nice t,its @ 1:46. Thanks for the tip off 😉

sorry if that got posted multiple times. it wasn’t being let through for some reason…..
I just can’t believe noone thought of “I’d like to blow your shofar” when you were doing the frum pickup lines posts a while back

a more typical haredi flash mob (sorry, there’s no need for men to close their eyes in this one)

maybe not a flash mob, but this video is really funny

hi i just came from the flashmob in j’lem and for the record as a supporter of the art kibbutz project and it was wonderful, 50 or so people gathered sang, blew shofars, children danced, passersby stopped to watch and be amazed, the shofar calls us all back to our true selves and was heard and appreciated by all, shanah tovah to all from a frum person who just saw the streets of j’lem stop to hear the call of the shofar during the month elul, may you all be blessed to stop in a busy street to hear g-d calling to each and every one of you
the shofar isn’t god calling us, its us calling god. or its just blowing a horn, which is supposed to create a certain state of mind
