Medium Shofar Cover, Velvet by Yair Emanuel

This rich velvet shofar carrying case from Judaica designer Yair Emanuel is embroidered on the side with the Hebrew words Halleluhu Beteka Shofar [Praise Him with the blasts of the Horn] and is designed to hold a long, curved Yemenite kudu horn shofar of medium length.

The embroidery is worked in silver thread on a blue velvet background. The carrying bag features shoulder strap and drawstring closure.

Jews of Yemen have traditionally made shofarot from the horn of a kudu (a species of antelope) rather than the more common ram's horn shofar used in other communities. According to Halacha (Jewish law), shofarot cannot be made from the horn of a cow or calf, as that might suggest worship of the Golden Calf, which is forbidden.

Length: 36 inch [90 cm]
