It says something to me that there are no comments in answer to the question about the shofar. My gathering sense is that shofar inspires very few in part because the art of playing it expertly is dying out in many, many locales. To mean something, it has to sound like something well practiced, well conceived, and compellingly performed. Sadly, from experience, so few expect it to be played well. For many, good enough is good enough. Imagine!
