Victory

Sound the alarm!

When we see the word trumpet in the Bible, the Hebrew equivalent is “shofar”. Shofars are those twisty brown ram’s horns that have recently become quite the popular Christian decor. Well, forget decor — we need to learn how to blow those things!! All around the world this season, the shofar is being blown among Jewish communities.
