Shofars are pretty cool...
Hey guys! What do you think of shofars? I like them, especially when used to start off a worship service or maybe once or twice during ministry time. I have a 38 inch yemenite if anyone wants to know.

Peace of Christ
Mike

Thats fine..most people I know don't know what a shofar is. The shofar is the biblical trumpet that was used outside of the temple. It is mentioned 80 times in the O.T. as "trumpet" The other trumpet, the silver trumpets, were used in the temple.The Levites played the silver trumpets. I have lots of verses, but pretty much whenever we see the word "trumpet" outside of the temple it is the shofar. It is a rams horn or gazelle, goat, or kudu horn. It was the horn that was blown outside the walls of Jericho, and Gideon's men used them at the "battle" with Midianites. The Jewish people still blow shofars on the Day of Atonement and on Yom Kippur.Here is a website that shows the basic shapes of shofars.http://www114.rapidsite.net/minis4/indexx.html

There are three kinds of shofar blasts:
Shevarim- Call to repentance. It sounds like someone crying, because you blow three short low-to-high blasts.
Teruah- This is the call to battle.Blow 9 stoccato blasts.
Tekiah- This is a heralding call, heralding the presence of the king.
Tekiah G'dolah- This is the call to worship, one long note held as long as possible.
Here is a link showing the general shapes of different types of shofars.
Kippur.http://www114.rapidsite.net/minis4/indexx.html

Also, if you have the movie Ben-Hur, they play the shofar when Jesus is born.

Hope this is helpful,
Mike

Oh, sure, I knew what those were - didn't know what they were called. That's cool.

Wow I was about to create a thread on this and thought I would search to see if there was one out there. I just got my first Shofar, it's a rams horn, and hope to learn to play it in the next couple of months. Does anyone know of a good site that would have lessons or something. I sent away for a short video, but don't know how good it really is.

I have 4 shofars all bought from Israel.
Two are ram horns and the other two are gazelle horns.

I heard people blew their shofars during the Feast of Tabernacle
in Jerusalem and my hairs all stood up right away, the sound was sooooo awesome!

I struggled blowing my shofars but all I could get was the same
note. I really wanted to learn. Can anyone help?
