The Shofar has been used by the Jewish People to commemorate holidays and important events (processions, going to war) even during their exodus from Egyptian captivity, before arriving in the land of Israel. Indeed, when the children of Israel received the Torah at mount Sinai, the blast of a Shofar emanating from the thick cloud on Mount Sinai made the Israelites tremble in awe (Exodus 19:16). It has since become a fixture in the Temple and particularly in the celebration of the Tishrei holidays, a function it retains to the present day.<\/p>\n
The Shofars used in the temple were various in shapes and sizes. The decorative Shofars used in Rosh Hashanah were straight, wild goat horn Shofars ornamented in gold, whereas the decorative Shofars used in Yom Hakippur were curving, ram horn Shofars decorated in silver.<\/p>\n
Following the destruction of the Second Temple and the scattering of the Jewish people, each community in the Diaspora developed its own style of Shofars with the Yemenite natural Shofar, perhaps in imitation of the straight goat Shofars, being made of the horn of the kudo, the African antelope.<\/p>\n
