Modern Shophar


The shophar is retained in the service of the modern synagogue. It is blown during the services on New Year\`s Day (except when that happens to be a Sabbath Day), at the conclusion at the Day of Atonement, on the 7th day of the Feast of the Tabernacles, and during the entire month of Elul, after the recital of the supplications.
