Why do you blow that really long blast anyhow?
Im glad you asked! I have a treasure for you this morning. In Joshua 6:5, in the middle of the story of the march around Jericho, where God is instru...

Yes, I have PLENTY of opinions on this one, actually. Surprised??
I am one who DOES believe in burnout. I also believe that it CAN be sin, but also believe that most of the time it's not. Poor mana...

There seem to be different parts to your trumpet call
Yes, there are. I want to talk particularly about two parts today. We talked before about the alarm or teruah. Today, two more parts, two more...

Why do you sometimes turn all the way around while playing that last, very long note?
I was taught that it is a tradition in some Jewish and Messianic circles, but it seems to have a pretty good f...

I do appreciate my loyal honey's impressions of my shofar efforts. Part of it is the horn. The examples are done on a fairly short ram's horn. The blasts from the yemenite style, the great curly ones ...

You're right, Moe, in a lot of areas it is per...

In the middle of the shofar call that I usually use, there is a series of at least 9 short, fast notes all strung together. In Hebrew, this is called the teruah...

Recognizing, so we can respond
Last week, we talked about making or hearing unsure sounds on the trumpet. Remember the TV show, M.A.S.H.? Remember Corporal Radar OReilly and his bugle blowing? [Lo...

Why blow the shofar?
Well, mostly because God said so! What were the trumpet blasts used for? They were used to signal the children of Israel--signals for time to worship, time to move out, time t...

I was asked to begin our congregations services with a shofar blast. I asked if I could start with a quick little nugget before actually blowing, so that our people could begin to develop an unders...

Mine, too. It was one that deeply affected me prior to my conversion to Christianity. The music was powerful and interesting, but the words impacted me greatly.

Skippy CDs are often either dirty or scratched.
Occasionally, they are poorly burned. If they skip on EVERY machine and if you've cleaned them, you have a flawed CD. If it used to work, you may nee...

Yes, that's one name.
