Shofars for sale

Polished Yemenite Shofar

Our Yemenite Shofars for sale are of the highest quality and 100% kosher. A kosher shofar has been properly cleaned and is contaminate free, as supervised by the Israel Rabbinical Council. A polished shofar means that during the processing, the rugged texture of the horn is removed and it is polished to a lovely sheen. Yemenite shofars are made from kudu horns after the natural annual shedding.

The Jews of Yemen had no access to the horns from Rams. Therefore, horns from the Kudu, a type of antelope, were brought from Africa to Yemen across the narrow Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Yemenite shofars are elongated spirals in shape and have a deep resonance some liken it to the sound of an echo off a mountain. It is said this timbre is what attracted Yemenite Jews to the kudu horn – it is reminiscent of the mountains where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac and sacrificed the ram instead resulting in the creation of the shofar.

The size of the shofar is determined by measuring outside around the spiral, not the overall length.

When Abraham was on the verge of sacrificing his son, Isaac, G-d sent an angel to stop him. Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by the horns in the thicket. This ram was provided by G-d for sacrifice in Isaac’s place. After the sacrifice two shofars were made from the ram’s horns. One was used on Mount Sinai. The other will be sounded at the final redemption. In Jewish tradition, the ram’s horn shofar is the preferred to use on Rosh HaShannah to perform the mitzvah. This is because it reminds G-d of Abraham’s devotion as we ask G-d for redemption from our sins.

Jericho Shofar

The Jericho Shofar horn is an especially large Ram’s Horn Natural Finish shofar. According to tradition these shofars are like the ones the priests carried during the Battle of Jericho as described in the Bible in Joshua 6:1-27. The Israelites fought the Battle of Jericho in their conquest of Canaan. After six days of marching once around the city’s wall, Joshua was commanded on the seventh day to march around the city seven times and for the priests to blow their shofars after the seventh time.  When the priests sounded their shofars, the walls of Jericho came crumbling down and the Israelites over-ran the city.
