My Jewish DNA registered and recognized the sound, as it was meant to be heard. A shofar, a rams horn, signalling, alerting, like a clarion call, sound traveling far and wide.
It struck me that hearing it inside a sanctuary wasn't how it was meant to be heard.

Great article. Thanks for sharing it.
