Friedmann From biblical times until today the shofar has served an array of practical purposes and communicated a range of symbolic meanings. The roughly seventy references to the shofar in the Hebrew Bible show four stereotypical functions: announcing the divine presence (e.g., Exod 19:16; Zech 9:14); accompanying sacred ceremonies (e.g., Lev 23:24; 2 Sam 6:15); proclaiming kingship (1 Kgs 1:34; 2 Kgs 9:13); and signaling on the battlefield (e.g., Judg 3:27; 2 Sam 2:28). In addition, the shofar served as a symbol for messages of joy, fear, group identity, and redemption. Many of the references to the shofar occur in narratives and liturgical poetic passages, while only a few references are of an explicitly legal nature. Leviticus 25:9–10 stipulates the sounding of the shofar on the tenth day of the seventh month to proclaim the Jubilee. Two passages, Leviticus 23:24 and Numbers 29:1, require that the first day of the seventh month, what is now called Rosh Hashanah, be a day for teru’ah, the sounding of a horn, generally understood to be a shofar. Although biblical passages mention two words among those committed to such views and those, in with regard to the blowing of the shofar, tq’ (teqi’ah) time, opposed to them. The never-ending production and teru’ah, the exact nature of the sound is not fully of Jewish prayer books that continues unabated today evident, nor is how the shofar should be sounded for exhibits continual efforts to both detail the actual the different occasions. No passages detail the species sounds for different parts of the Rosh Hashanah of animals for making a shofar. services, and, more so, to frame the shofar blowing Rabbinic texts and halakhic deciders (posqim) with traditional and creative liturgical elements meant since the time of the Mishnah, the first rabbinic to impact all those listening to the sounds, including document, have developed and disagreed about the individuals at prayer and God in the divine realm. various stipulations regarding the materials for the Perhaps equally as important to its liturgical shofar, the specific character of the sounds, and the use is the shofar’s status as a national symbol.

  • Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues
    Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues The title alone sounds nonsensical to most of us. But there is now an entire book on the subject, carried out with meticulous care by a German writer, describing herself as “a scholar who is not Jewish”, prompted by her accidental discovery that such people and activities once flourished. More than that, they continue into our present era and will do so in the future, it is hoped. Her research led to a comprehensive work in German, published in 2005. Now we have its English translation, published by the Oxford University Press in 2009: The Organ and Its Music in German-Jewish Culture by Tina Frühauf ISBN 978-0-19-533706-8 (284 pages, hard-back) We regard the organ as a Christian possession, a vital part of the religious service. But it was only slowly accepted ca. 900—1100 CE, when still a primitive instrument, and even then it was not incorporated into the liturgy. By comparison, instrumental music (whatever its form may have been) was apparently used in prayer by the ancient Hebrews; there is even a possibility that an organ — the magrepha — was used in the Temple in Jerusalem. It was not until the 15th century that Christianity adopted the organ as a devotional instrument, and this was slow to take hold. The Presbyterian Church, for example, did not accept the organ in services until well into the 19th century. There was concern that organ music would be regarded as frivolous, unworthy of the gravity of religion. Jewish orthodox practice continues to take this attitude.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach Today (?)
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach today (?) Three girls in Israel were detained by the Israeli Police (2018). The girls are activists of the “Return to the Mount” (Chozrim Lahar) movement. Why were they detained? They had posted Arabic signs in the Muslim Quarter calling upon Muslims to leave the Temple Mount area until Friday night, in order to allow Jews to bring the Korban Pesach. This is the fourth time that activists of the movement will come to the Old City on Erev Pesach with goats that they plan to bring as the Korban Pesach. There is also an organization called the Temple Institute that actively is trying to bring back the Korban Pesach. It is, of course, very controversial and the issues lie at the heart of one of the most fascinating halachic debates in the past two centuries. 1 The previous mishnah was concerned with the offering of the paschal lamb when the people who were to slaughter it and/or eat it were in a state of ritual impurity. Our present mishnah is concerned with a paschal lamb which itself becomes ritually impure. Such a lamb may not be eaten. (However, we learned incidentally in our study of 5:3 that the blood that gushed from the lamb's throat at the moment of slaughter was collected in a bowl by an attendant priest and passed down the line so that it could be sprinkled on the altar). Our mishnah states that if the carcass became ritually defiled, even if the internal organs that were to be burned on the altar were intact and usable the animal was an invalid sacrifice, it could not be served at the Seder and the blood should not be sprinkled.

  • Trumpets and Horns
    TRUMPETS AND HORNS NATURAL TRUMPETS SHOFAR The shofar is an ancient Jewish liturgical instrument. It is a natural trumpet without a mouthpiece and produces only two tones, the second and third harmonics. The Talmud has laid down precise instructions for its maintenance and use, as well as materials and methods of construction. The shofar is usually made from ram's horn, although the horn of any animal of the sheep or goat family may be used. The horn is softened by heat and straightened. Subsequently, it is re-bent in one of several shapes (Plate 58). A blow-hole is bored into the pointed end of the horn. In the Northern European variety of shofar, the blow-hole usually has no distinct shape. In the Israeli and Southern European type, the mouthpiece is formed into a miniature trum- pet mouthpiece.

  • Ancient Seashell Resonates After 18,000 Years
    PRESS RELEASE - PARIS - 10 FEBRUARY 2021 Ancient seashell resonates after 18,000 years Almost 80 years after its discovery, a large shell from the ornate Marsoulas Cave in the Pyrenees has been studied by a multidisciplinary team from the CNRS, the Muséum de Toulouse, the Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès and the Musée du quai Branly - Jacques-Chirac1: it is believed to be the oldest wind instrument of its type. Scientists reveal how it sounds in a study published in the journal Science Advances on 10th February 2021. The Marsoulas Cave, between Haute-Garonne and Ariège, was the first decorated cave to be found in the Pyrenees. Discovered in 1897, the cave bears witness to the beginning of the Magdalenian2 culture in this region, at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. During an inventory of the material from the archaeological excavations, most of which is kept in the Muséum de Toulouse, scientists examined a large Charonia lampas (sea snail) shell, which had been largely overlooked when discovered in 1931. The tip of the shell is broken, forming a 3.5 cm diameter opening. As this is the hardest part of the shell, the break is clearly not accidental. At the opposite end, the shell opening shows traces of retouching (cutting) and a tomography scan has revealed that one of the first coils is perforated. Finally, the shell has been decorated with a red pigment (hematite), characteristic of the Marsoulas Cave, which indicates its status as a symbolic object. To confirm the hypothesis that this conch was used to produce sounds, scientists enlisted the help of a horn player, who managed to produce three sounds close to the notes C, C-sharp and D.
