The Call of the Shofar
A presentation on the Jewish shofar and its significance, featuring a liturgical song.
"We are your people and you are our God. We are your servants and you are our master."
"This is the Shofar... we have to blow it at the beginning of the Jewish year... One of the symbols... is that when... peace will come to the world... the whole world together will hear the blow of the shofar of peace."
The speaker introduces and blows a shofar (ram's horn), explaining its use during Rosh Hashanah and its symbolic connection to a future, universal peace. He first sings a liturgical verse from Yom Kippur that enumerates the relationship between the Jewish people and God, framing the shofar's call within this context of covenant and devotion.
