I knew about the Shofar...having read Jewish history and of Jewish tradition. It plays an integral part in some of their services and the use of a Shofar dates back thousands of years. A classic Shofar is made from a ram's horn and the horn is still used today.
Imagine my surprise and delight when I actually heard one blown in person for the first time. No, I was not attending Synagogue...but a United Methodist Youth gathering in Greensboro, NC...in 2007. Without getting into detail about why we were there, each of the nightly gatherings began with the blowing of the ram's horn. It sent chills...
In honor of Yom Kippur...hear it for yourself!
