The ram's horn (Shofar) is mentioned throughout the Bible as an important instrument which symbolizes several different types of redemption. Its powerful sound is meant to awaken the soul to come closer to God. It also will be sounded at the time of the ultimate redemption, calling for the incoming of all the exiles. Every day of the current Hebrew month of Elul, which preceedes Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, the shofar is sounded in order to rouse the "slumbering" people of Israel, calling to them to atone for the previous year's deeds and prepare for the new year. Get your own shofar just in time for Rosh Hashana, coming up in just a few weeks, and awaken your soul to God!

Watch as an expert shofar blower demonstrates blowing the four traditional Shofar blasts sounded on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. The majestic sounds serve as an internal wake up call to self-introspection and repentance.

The year 2015 sees the 10 year anniversary of two major events that occurred in close proximity to one another: the Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip and Hurricane Katrina. On a surface level, both events seem to have no relation to one another. However, deeper exploration reveals a startling divine connection.
