Shofar from Israel | KOSHER by Rabbinate of Jerusalem | Handcrafted | Holy Voice musical instruments | Kudu | Ram | Made In Israel By YOMTOV-SHALOM (Kudu Shofar, 23-27 inch)
- Most shofars are made from the horns of an elk, an adult male sheep. Because there are no rams in Israel whose horns are suitable for trumpets, the horns are imported from the countries of the Maghreb and South Africa. The "Yemeni" shofar is made from gabled kudu horns.
- The horn goes through a process of heating with fire, and is slowly aligned. The Sephardi shofar is usually straight throughout, while the Ashkenazi one is straight at the beginning and curls towards the end. Straightening the Spanish shofar increases its price up to three times and causes every second shofar to break in this process
- At the end of the alignment, the mouthpiece and the body of the horn are polished, and the desired shofar sound is achieved in a process that requires special skill
- There are different types of shofars. The shofar is usually made from the horn of an elk, an adult male sheep, thus fulfilling the Rosh Hashanah mitzvah of the chosen one. But from the main point of the law, a sheep's horn must be kashir even if it is not a ram, and even the horns of other pure animals are kosher for the shofar according to the majority of the judges. They do not use the horn of a bull or of other animals whose horns are not hollow but made of one bone, because they are not called "shuffar", and only the horns that resemble a tube are called shofar.
- According to the Mishnah, a Yael trumpet with a golden mouth was used in the Temple on Rosh Hashanah, and two trumpets were also blown next to it.
- Among some of the Jews of Yemen it was a custom to blow on Rosh Hashanah with a long, curled shofar made from the horn of an African antelope called "kudu" (mostly kudu of the humped kudu species), and this despite the fact that the Rambam, whose rulings Yemenite Jews usually follow, requires a bowed sheep's shofar to be blown on Rosh Hashanah According to Rabbi Aviran Yitzhak Halevi, this custom is not ancient, since only in the last hundreds of years has trade between Yemen and Africa become possible.
- As a rule, the Jews of Yemen did not change the original shape of the Shofar. And even according to Rabbi Yosef Kapah there is wrongful concern about a shofar that is processed and altered from its natural shape, following this ruling his students tend to stick in a shofar that even on the narrow side has not been altered or stretched. Which makes it more difficult to fit the plug into the mouth, and requires a different skill than usual.
- In the Bible, the Shofar is mentioned in many contexts and it is the musical instrument mentioned the most number of times in the Bible. The shofar was also used by other peoples in ancient times. Even in wars, they used to stick to deter the enemy. In Carchemish, a relief from the Iron Age was found showing people playing a shofar and a drum
- There are also other Pentecostals who hold Jewish-Christian prayer ceremonies, such as the one in Oklahoma, which included the blowing of a shofar. Israeli flags adorn the giant churches around the world - from Brazil to South Korea
