The Shofar Helps Us Become Beautiful
The Hebrew word
for “beautiful,” shafra, is related to “shofar.” When Moses ascended Mt.
Sinai during Elul, the Jews in the desert blew the shofar to remind themselves
that in order to receive the Second Tablets of the Covenant they would have to
beautify themselves before God.
The shofar inspires us to think, speak and act in ways that make us more beautiful to God.
