The shofar is blown during elul and on rosh-hashana and yom-kippur. It is not blown on Shabbat. When you blow it you blow tekiah shvarim and teruah. It is supposed to wake you up to do mitzvot and to say sorry. It is made from a kosher animals horn not just a ram’s horn although it is usually made from a ram. It makes a sound like a trumpet when it is blown and in biblical times it was used to announce important occasions and they used it to blow down Jericho’s walls. A good shofar takes a long time to make and some are really long and curly. They used it to blow down jerichos walls The shofar comes in black white or brown Its made from a rams horn You blow the shofar 4+ times a day The blow are called tekiah shvarim truah and tekiah gedola You can put metal on the end It’s a wake up call It’s a reminder to do mitsvot

Rosh~Hashanah is about saying sorry. A big part of saying sorry is getting a wakeup call. We do this by listening to the shofar. The shofar is made out of a rams horn. A shofar is awesome. I love the shofar. We do not blow the Shofar on Sabbath. We also blow the shofar Yom~Kippur. There are 4 different sounds to the shofar : tekiah shevarim & truah.

Blue=new info about shofar we now know that the shofar can be made from an ibex or a goat aswell as a ram. You blow the shofar 100 times. It is used in biblical times at coronations to annouce a new king and in the present day it is used to announce a new year. The smaller the hole at the blowing end of the shofar the better the sound it makes because more concentrated air gets in. The Ram is the usual animal to use for a shofar horn because of Akedat Yitzhak. You can only use an animals horn if the animal is dead or the horn has fallen off in a fight because of the rule against animal cruelty in the torah A.K.A The Guide For Life. By Eli. N. E. A. D
