Shofar runners

Interesting ten-minute video interviewing the last six survivors of the teenage boys who, when between 1930 and 1947 the British outlawed sounding the shofar at the Kotel so as not to offend the Arabs, risked six-month jail terms and succeeded in doing so every Yom Kippur during this period.

(Thanks to Ruth WINOLJ for this.)

Thanks, that was really interesting. I did not know blowing the Shofar at the Kotel was ever illegal.
