- Note
- A shofar (/ʃoʊˈfɑːr/ shoh-FAR; from Hebrew: שׁוֹפָר, pronounced [ʃoˈfaʁ] (listen)) is an ancient musical horn typically made of a ram´s horn, used for Jewish religious purposes. Like the modern bugle, the shofar lacks pitch-altering devices, with all pitch control done by varying the player´s embouchure. The shofar is blown in synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah and at the end of Yom Kippur; it is also blown every weekday morning in the month of Elul running up to Rosh Hashanah. Shofars come in a variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the choice of animal and level of finish.
