Product Description Made of ram’s horn, the Shofar is the ritual instrument of the ancient and modern Hebrews, the only Hebrew cultural instrument to have survived until now. Apart from its liturgical uses the shofar was closely connected with magical symbolism. Its blast destroyed the walls of Jericho, and in the Dead Sea scrolls we read that during battles shofar blowers sounded a powerful war cry to instill fear into the hearts of the enemy. In our times its liturgical use is restricted to New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
This Shofar is decorated with sterling silver and features a menorah and floral design. It would make a great gentleman gift or Bar- mitzvah gift.
~ The Shofar measures approx.9 ½”W x 7 ½”H, size and shape vary from piece to piece.
~ A Lucite display easel is included.
~ Occasional polishing of the sterling silver decorations on this Shofar is recommended to preserve the luster.
