Shalom my brother!! Thank you for your instructions. I have a shofar coming to Texas for my church. I look forward to sharing the rich Jewish history with them. We pray peace and blessings to all of Israel!!
Thank you Rabbi Finkelstein!! You are blessed with the art to teaching non-Jews who are passionate about the shofar! Something undescribable happens whenever I would listen to the sound. I was led beyond my imagination to purchase one! . And I am receiving apouch, Rose of Sharon oil and a tallit as a gift as well.. Shaloam!!!
I have been waiting to find a video like this. At my church we have a Shofar, though it is only sounded for surtn times. Also, the man who knew how to blow it the best moved away. And each person including myself could only make it sputter and sounded horrible. Thank you for this vid and a greater thank you to God for leading me to this. Sholom!
Thank you for this video. My first shot at just arrived. I am still down stairs of my apt. complex waiting for the odor neutralized to arrive. Excited to go to my apt. and open the package.
Some factories sell their shofars already sterilized (they suppose to ) but it is not a big deal if it's a good sounding shofar. What one can do is to cleans it with baking soda for bad odor or put vinegar for a while
My Shofar also smelled really bad, but I have "Cedars of Lebanon" anointing oil and I wiped that all over the inside of the Shofar. Yes, it did still smell a bit, but in less than a month the odder was all gone. Shalom
Shalom greeting from Malaysia i have just started to blow shofar in church for three two weeks now bcs i started to blow shofar with hose pipe than the following week some one just bless me a shofar the horn of antelope
The best I can do is the groaning sound at 2:19 except it sounds much worse. My shofar is about the size of the one in this video, a tad smaller. So I got a CD of a shofar blowing in place of blowing a real one, and was about to throw away the shofar, maybe get a bigger shofar sometime in the future. Seeing this man blow the shofar just fine I think the problem is me, not the shofar.
It's basically a trumpet with a teeny mouthpiece. You might try a trumpet first to get the hang of it. BTW shofars can't be used to blow US Army bugle calls. The harmonic notes are all wrong. Who needs "Mess Call" blown before the oneg anyway?
pj8uch hi i soaked it in vinegar.that didnt work so i soaked it in vinegar and baking soda over night. that did nothing. i have tried odor elimanator spray. it really smells like they got it from a rotting animal. there were actually still pieces of dead flesh on it when i got it. its really the worst odor i have ever smelled and you only have to be in the same room tp smell it. i payed 45.00 for it and i quite upset that it smell so bad, no one would want to put their lips on it.
R G Wells haha im in the same position as you. my shofar is still in the laundry sitting with vinegar and a concoction of various cleaning agents i found lol. I just went to check and still smells the same... ill let you know if i find a solution. ☺
I play trumpet and will have a shofar soon. Protip: You can't play bugle calls on a shofar. The harmonics come out wrong. This is probably a good thing.

R G Wells vinegar and water. a quick google search will give a few solutions.

pj8uch oh wow,lol i cant even get the people i bought it from in Israel to tell me how to get rid of the smell.
I still cannot blow mine at all, any shofar blowing for complete dummies videos? That's what I I need ....
New shofar!! Maybe your is not good
Just got mine today and cant get 1 sound Need that vid as well GBY
start from 1:15
Wow 👏
I still don't understand how to do the groaning part....?
Just three sounds that last about 3 seconds each. Do make it sound groaning, you have to chop it. That's hard to explain.
Ptl. L'Shana Tovah...
thank u.
