18"-20" Yemenite Kudu Shofar - Natural

Made in accordance with Jewish Law

Size: 18" - 20" / 45 - 50 cm (measured around the curve).

This is the classic shofar that Jews in Yemen imported from Africa and blew on Rosh Hashanah for centuries, then brought with them to Israel. Much larger and more spiraled than standard European shofars, this imposing instrument makes a lasting impression!

Its beautiful natural finish includes a full polish near the mouthpiece, while its sound is crisp and pure. All of our shofars are crafted according to ancient tradition while utilizing modern methods to produce some of the highest quality shofars in Israel. Makes a fantastic gift!

Mentioned throughout Jewish sources, the sound of the shofar was historically used at various times, including at the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Today, the shofar is used on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, when that same sound has the unique power to wake up our soul to the presence of its Infinite source and to renew a vision of the spiritual connection we are meant to build in this world.

Please note: Shofars may come in shades of color somewhat lighter or darker than what is pictured.
