Things to Consider When Purchasing a Decorative Shofar
Every Shofar is Unique
Shofars are hand-made from ram or kudu horns. As such, it is natural that each one will vary slightly from each other and the image.
Kosher-certified
Although technically a shofar is a specific type of musical instrument, and any horn manufactured in a way that meets the halachic definition of a shofar can be used to perform the mitzvah, Judaica.com only sells the most authentic and kosher shofars.
We specialize in shofars made at the BarSheshet-Ribak Shofar factories, known as Shofarot Israel. The Ribaks have been manufacturing thousands of shofars a year in the very same building in Tel Aviv since the Ribaks emigrated from Poland in 1927. The BarSheshet family of shofar producers emigrated from Morocco in 1947 and started a factory in Haifa. By the 1980s, the two families went from being competitors in the shofar business to partners. They make the best shofars on the market.
Please note that many of our special edition shofars cannot be used in the synagogue shofar service, but rather are collectors’ items.
SHOFARS MAKE EXCELLENT GIFTS
Many Jews not only use shofars in the synagogue but purchase them as ornamental art. As such, they make wonderful gifts for Rosh Hashanah and all occasions - bar or bat mitzvahs, weddings or housewarming. This is especially true when the shofar an embellished or plated shofar is purchased, or you include a decorative stand.
