There has never been a book-length exploration into shofar’s many meanings, until now. This 3-volume work provides enough depth to satisfy serious students of religion while remaining accessible to curious lay reader of all faiths. Respectful of diverse Jewish traditions, the book also advances original discoveries about shofar that add to our understanding of its call.
