A shofar (pron. /ʃoʊˈfɑːr/, from Hebrew:שׁוֹפָר, pronounced[ʃoˈfaʁ]) is a musical instrument of ancient origin, made of a horn, traditionally that of a ram, used for Jewish religious purposes. Like the modern bugle, the shofar lacks pitch-altering devices. All pitch control is done by varying the player's embouchure. The shofar is blown in synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah and at the very end of Yom Kippur, and is also blown every weekday morning in the month of Elul running up to Rosh Hashanah. Shofars come in a variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the choice of animal and level of finish.
The shofar was used to announce holidays (Ps. lxxxi. 4), and the Jubilee year (Lev. 25:9). The first day of the seventh month (Tishrei) is termed "a memorial of blowing" (Lev. 23:24), or "a day of blowing" (Num. 29:1), the shofar. They were for signifying the start of a war (Josh. 6:4; Judges 3:27; 7:16, 20; I Sam. 8:3). Later, it was also employed in processions (II Sam. 6:15; I Chron. 15:28), as musical accompaniment (Ps. 98:6; comp. ib. 47:5) and eventually it was inserted into the temple orchestra by David (Ps. 150:3). Note that the 'trumpets' described in Numbers 10 are a different instrument, described by the Hebrew word 'trumpet' (Hebrew:חצוצרה; ḥaṣoṣrah), not the word for shofar (Hebrew:שופר).
The blowing of the shofar, or ram's horn, on the Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Hebrew: תקיעת שופר, pronounced[teki'at shofarʻ] – although not exclusively limited to a ram's horn, as almost any natural bovid horn serves the purpose, excepting a cow's horn, is an injunction that is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Leviticus 23:24) in undefined terms, without divulging how this was to be done:
Three series
The original practice in Israel was to hear a total of only nine blasts made by the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah. This practice was later changed by Rav Abbahu of Caesarea (3rd century CE), because of doubts that had arisen surrounding the actual performance of this commandment.
During the first series, Rav Abbahu enacted that they blow a [very long] sustained blast (Teki'ah), followed by three [short] lilting blasts (Shevarim), followed by a [long] quavering blast (Teru'ah), and again by a [very long] sustained blast (Teki'ah). This series was to be repeated three times. This prescribed order is often called by the mnemonics: TaSHRaT – Teki'ah, Shevarim, Teru'ah, Teki'ah.
Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies is a quarterly peer-reviewedacademic journal published by Purdue University Press on behalf of the University's Jewish Studies Program. It is the official journal of the Midwest and Western Jewish Studies Associations.
History
The journal was originally established as a departmental newsletter by Joseph Haberer in 1982. Over time, it developed into a peer-reviewed journal. In 1994, Zev Garber became editor-in-chief of Shofar.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103.
The Powerful Sound of the Shofar is Healing and causes confusion in the enemy's camp, when blown it clears the air around us.... Rejoice and give thanks to the Living God and our father Jesus the Lord...
The ram’s horn, the Shofar, is a reminder of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac and GOD’s provision of a ram as a substitute. (Isaac: Who at Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is the “Akedah” in the binding of Isaac story about sub-situnary sacrifice!) And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

(Numbers 10:10)
The Messiah: A Shofar will announce the 2nd Coming of the Messiah!
Israel will be advised of the advent of the Messiah with the sound of the shofar. (Zechariah 9:14, 16)
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the Shofars of God and the dead in Christ shall rise“ (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
The Messiah: A Shofar will be blown before the dead rise! “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Shofars; for the Shofars will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:52)
Gives commands to angelic hosts! “And He will send forth His angels with a great Shofar and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.” (Matthew 24:31) The shofar (trumpet) is the sound of God’s voice! (Revelation 1:10)

#i24NEWS #Shofar #JewishTraditions
i24NEWS DESK | Robert Weinger is known as the best shofar blower of the modern world. Our Emily Frances has his story.
A shofar (pron. /ʃoʊˈfɑːr/, from Hebrew:שׁוֹפָר, pronounced[ʃoˈfaʁ]) is a musical instrument of ancient origin, made of a horn, traditionally that of a ram, used for Jewish religious purposes. Like the modern bugle, the shofar lacks pitch-altering devices. All pitch control is done by varying the player's embouchure. The shofar is blown in synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah and at the very end of Yom Kippur, and is also blown every weekday morning in the month of Elul running up to Rosh Hashanah. Shofars come in a variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the choice of animal and level of finish.
The shofar was used to announce holidays (Ps. lxxxi. 4), and the Jubilee year (Lev. 25:9). The first day of the seventh month (Tishrei) is termed "a memorial of blowing" (Lev. 23:24), or "a day of blowing" (Num. 29:1), the shofar. They were for signifying the start of a war (Josh. 6:4; Judges 3:27; 7:16, 20; I Sam. 8:3). Later, it was also employed in processions (II Sam. 6:15; I Chron. 15:28), as musical accompaniment (Ps. 98:6; comp. ib. 47:5) and eventually it was inserted into the temple orchestra by David (Ps. 150:3). Note that the 'trumpets' described in Numbers 10 are a different instrument, described by the Hebrew word 'trumpet' (Hebrew:חצוצרה; ḥaṣoṣrah), not the word for shofar (Hebrew:שופר).
