Maybe it’s age factor, I developed interest towards weird and exotic stuff. And I bought a Shofar from Hope Kuching store =)
Well, of course, it’s not just some weird and exotic stuff. Shofar has significant spiritual meaning behind it. When Hope Kuching was praying for the MNC, God gave an image of Shofar to Ps Dennis and He taught him how to blow it. So, Shofar appears in the XtraOrdinary logo, during heart preparation session, and etc.
Found online : When you buy a shofar, please remember that since the shofar comes from an actual real, live animal, there may be some particles of sinew, muscle or bone left inside the shofar which may cause certain odor…
Spiritual significance of Shofar
1. Repentance. Eg Abraham and Isaac and ram. When Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac, God provided a ram. The blast of a shofar is to remind us God’s forgiveness and lead us back to repentance.
2. Procession and start of war. Eg Joshua and the wall of Jericho. Joshua 6:4. Judges 3:27
3. Proclaiming God’s kingship
4. Announce important days. Eg Leviticus 23, 24, 25:9. There were ‘Day of blowing’ and ‘Memorial of blowing’, for Day of Atonement, Passover, Jubilee Year
5. Musical instrument. Eg David’s band. Ps 150:3
Another sentence found online. Well, after everybody attempted to have a blast and all sorts of weird noises came out (or to some, just wind or none at all). Being a Ba’al T’qiah (shofar sounder) is an honor…”The one who blows the shofar on Rosh Hashanah . . . should likewise be learned in the Torah and shall be God-fearing; the best man available. Then again, brothers and sisters, you are the royal priesthood, God’s chosen generation. 1 Peter 2:9
