Ikea Gedola

Here is something that will get you in the High Holiday spirit.

Sometimes I see video on YouTube that I cannot help but share with you.

This 13 second gem was sent to me by a friend.

It appeals to my sense of humor. It actually made me laugh. Background story below…

Enjoy.

How did this happen?

My friend was in crazy traffic (not crazy like the 3 month backup in China) and he had his tallis and shofar in the car and his friend had a camera. They were passing an Ikea and my friend chuckles to himself Ikeaaaa (sounds like Tekiaaaah) and the video was born…

(Further explanation: The shofar makes three sounds. One is called tekia. On Rosh Hashana someone calls out each shofar blast before it is blown. So before tekia he chants “tekiaaa”.)
