Shofar Sounders WebPage Updated July 8, 2008

Arthur L. Finkle Shofar Sounding is an arcane skill. There generally is no formal training because sounding is a once a year occurrence. Usually, someone who has played a brass instrument has the experience to sound this ancient instrument on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The Shofar WebPage intends to approach Shofar Sounding in a scientific and respectfully religious manner. Although not much has been written about the Shofar, I have attempted to fill in the gaps. For example, in my book, I cite: • • • • •
