Silver Plated Silver Shofars

Silver shofars are the beautiful combination of tradition and art. The Jewish shofar is generally made from a ram's horn or according to Yemenite tradition, a kudu horn, both of which are available with a silver plating. These silver shofars feature popular Jewish symbols such as Jerusalem, menorahs, Stars of David, and more. A stunning silver shofar is the perfect gift to give this Jewish New Year.

The Jewish Shofar- A Ritual Decreed by Scripture

Judaica Webstore offers you ritual items that will help create an environment of instruction and reflection this Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. An essential part of this holiday, the Jewish shofar lets us properly observe the High Holidays and invites us to ruminate on the deeper implications of this Scripture-sanctioned practice. While the Torah does not expressly explain the significance of this ritual, Rav Sa'adyah Gaon has provided a number of rich and instructive interpretations. He describes it as a jubilant trumpet salute to G-d, our King. At the same time, he points out, it acts as a call to prayer and reflection, and even more grave, as a warning: (Ezekiel 33:4-5) "And if the listener shall hear the sound of the shofar and not be careful, then the sword shall come and take him. And if he shall be careful, then his soul has escaped." Choose a magisterial shofar horn as the centerpiece to your Rosh Hashanah celebration. Judaica Webstore offers shofars in a number of styles and sizes, including the classically shaped ram's horn (available in a variety of sizes), which retains its natural rustic finish but features a finely polished mouthpiece. Also available is the Moroccan ram's horn shofar, whose design captures the unique handicraft aesthetic of the Maghreb region (available in extra large, large, medium and small). Each shofar is a one of a kind piece that will always look and sound powerful.
