How to Blow the Shofar - A "Toot"Orial

Rabbi Moshe Silver
Blowing the Shofar is simple - but not easy. Rabbi Silver will go over the basic concepts of proper lip position, posture, and breath control. Unless you are a trumpet player, the technique may seem unnatural at first. The real secret to mastering the Shofar is - that there’s no secret. It takes hours of dedicated practice. Rabbi Silver shares his own story of his road from utter failure to relative triumph the first year he blew Shofar at what was to later become the Drisha Minyan. In addition to teaching the basics of technique, Rabbi Silver offers enthusiastic encouragement for everyone hoping to participate in this important Mitzvah. “If I can do this,” says Rabbi Silver, “you can do it too. I guarantee it!”
In this session Rabbi Silver shares his personal story of trying to blow the Shofar, and of ultimately B”H “getting it.” The biggest challenge most first-time Shofar blowers must overcome is their own sense of awkwardness. Rabbi Silver will lead a mass “Shofar-Out,” encouraging everyone to experience for themselves the feel of their own Shofar. Then we will work on basics of technique: embouchure (lip position), stance, and breathing.

Thank You So Much! The tips are very helpful! I'd my shofar for some years... but couldn't blow the sounds I hear others blowing.
I will practise! Toda Raba! ❤

[@Gyvybingas]

Yes, training is necessary for lips!

The breathing method described and the relation to the immune system is like that of 'the Iceman' Wim Hof.

I just got my shofar and I’m learning

[@tntlovelove3111]

How I came into knowing about the Lord, showing me back in 2012 to blow the shofar, because danger is coming, and then I came to understand the Lord spoke to me about him, calling me to be a watchman on the wall, and then speaking to me to mobilize the prophets

[@tntlovelove3111]

When all this occurred in the month of Nisan, I hear the spirit of the lord speak to me go get the 10 Commandments. Well, I referenced the Historical Cecil B. Demile movie. That was March 3rd of 2012. Then on March 15 of that same month of 2012, I hear the Spirit of the Lord speak to me, Put on your Priestly garment and don’t go back. We are in a new dispensation.
