Today’s word is “Shofar” ... Shoh-fer ... a ram’s horn blown as a wind instrument, sounded in Biblical times chiefly to communicate signals in battle and announce certain religious services on Rose Hashanah and Yom Kippur. (Dictionary.com)
Blow
When the shofar sounds,
They say battle’s on its way,
The warriors amass,
The people bow and pray.
Perhaps before this signal,
We should put our swords away,
Melt down our spears with fire,
And begin today!
