BOAZ MICHAEL: You
and I both know
that we need a lot of
reminders in our daily life
to repent and to think
of the things of God.
It's like an alarm
clock for the soul.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
ELI RIBAK: We send the
shofar all over the world.
We send it to Jewish,
to Christians.

BOAZ MICHAEL: At the coronation
of the Kings of Israel,
shofars would blow.
They would announce
the new king.
They would announce
the coming of the king.
Oftentimes in the
Christian world, shofars
are blown throughout
the entire year.
But in Judaism, and
in Jewish practices,
shofars are only blown
for a very limited time
throughout the year.
During this time, the month
of Elul, and Rosh Hashanah.

BOAZ MICHAEL: And they
tell us something.
They're speaking to us.
They're reminding
us of something.
And one of the things
they're reminding us of
is the creation of the world,
the coming of the King, King
Messiah one day at this time.
The coronation of his
Kingdom on our Earth.
This is what the shofar
is to remind us of.
And it speaks to us every
day when we hear that sound.
