    Yemenite Shofars - Everything You Need to Know 

    What is a Yemenite shofar? 

    A Yemenite shofar is unique because it is made from an African antelope or kudu. These shofars tend to have elongated and curvy bodies and come in deep, warm brown tones.  

    The Yemenite shofar can be distinguished from the traditional ram’s horn shofar not only for its look, but also its sound. Yemenite shofars produce a strong, brass sound that will echo across the synagogue or wherever its blown.

     

    Different Types of Yemenite Shofars 

    Like ram’s horn shofars, there are all different types of Yemenite shofars. At Judaica.com, you will find a choice of fully polished, half polished, or natural Yemenite shofars - each one unique and breathtaking. 

    Further, we have a series of decorative Yemenite shofars. Our hand-painted Yemenite shofars have colorful, exquisite designs; grapevines, pomegranates, a lion’s face, the holy city of Jerusalem and more. 

    In addition, Judaica.com has a series of silver-plated Yemenite shofars, also with images with Jewish themes. 

    Each special edition Yemenite shofar is a work of art. 

     

    See our shofar sizing guide.



    Things to consider when you buy a Yemenite Shofar

    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.

    An important note: Many of our special edition Yemenite shofars cannot be used in the synagogue shofar service, rather they are collectors’ items.

     

    Every Shofar is Unique

    It is important to remember that although we do our very best to ensure that the shofar you receive matches the one in the picture, each shofar is formed from the horn of a kudu and therefore may differ slightly from the next.

     

    Shofar Accessories

    Judaica.com has a variety of shofar accessories to help you best display or carry your new shofar. With the right shofar stand, for example, your shofar can be transformed into a beautiful work of art. Judaica.com’s stands start at as low as $15. There is a basic, acrylic shofar stand and other fine pieces made of wood or metal, such as those by Gary Rosenthal or Yair Emanuel.  

    We also carry shofar bags, which allow you to protect your ram’s horn on the way to and from synagogue or other travels.

     

    When to Purchasing a Shofar

    Shofars make great gifts for almost any occasion. Considering purchasing a shofar as a bar or bat mitzvah gift or a wedding present. You can also use a Judaica.com shofar in your home as a piece of art or purchase a Yemenite shofar for a housewarming present.  

    Yemenite shofars particularly make splendid gifts because of their impressive presence and design.

    Yemenite shofars are also popular for use in schools and Hebrew schools, since children are fascinated by their length and shape.

    Of course, the core use of a Yemenite shofar is in synagogue at the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur prayer services.
